... but two of them I can relate to, at least a little: he's my age and he's a father. Last week, he said this about his two kids – a daughter and a son – being with him during his final round at the British Open:
"In team sports you can hide, in individual sports you cannot. You're exposed. They saw their dad get into contention and end up leading the tournament. Then end up losing the tournament. But I tried until the very end. They saw me make that birdie on the par 5, and they saw I stuffed that shot on 18 even though that yahoo was yelling at me on the tee shot. They saw how much I was grinding. They said, 'Well, you weren't going to win.' I said, 'I know I wasn't going to win, but that doesn't stop me from grinding.' That is a teachable moment because they were there in the present, in person. Sometimes you can't always see that on TV."
