ALL BETTER

Before having surgery almost a year ago to repair a tendon in my wrist, I'd had some small injuries, but nothing big. An injury gives you something to reflect on -- that you're not indestructible. I have a deeper appreciation for golf now. And my game feels like it's back to where it was.

DISTANCE WAR

Equipment technology has made a big jump the past five years, especially the ball. Part of me would love to go back to when Augusta National was 6,900 yards and had no rough. Now, I have to rely on hitting 3- or 4-irons into greens that weren't meant to receive them. But if I'm playing well, I can win anywhere.

RYDER CUP CAPTAIN

Colin Montgomerie will be a great captain. Obviously, he's someone who's passionate about the Ryder Cup. He loves that atmosphere. He also brings a lighthearted attitude. He's gonna try his hardest, but he has that dry wit about him that will hopefully make the team a little bit more at ease.

THROWBACK

I play the Titleist Pro V1x 2005 version because I prefer the way it plays in the wind. I mark it with a dot between the logo and the number.

TEE PREFERENCE

I prefer medium-length white tees (I can't seem to get used to the long ones), but I'm always running out, so I use whatever I can find.
