Dustin Johnson quotes:

I always knew I wanted to play golf and go to college. I try hard to be a positive role model, especially on the golf course. I try to carry myself well, and don't do anything outrageous. I try to play the game like a gentleman and give everyone respect. That's how the game should be played.

I love being on the water, wakesurfing and wakeboarding. I'm not thinking about golf. I'm just wondering if my cooler's got enough ice to make it through the day.

At Pebble Beach, even on your good shots, you've got to hit it to the correct side of the holes to save pars.

Anytime you're playing a major, the last four or five holes, it's not going to be easy. It's never a guarantee. It's never easy.

With me, what you see is what you get. I try to treat everyone with respect.

As a kid, I remember John Daly bombing it around St. Andrews in 1995 to win the British Open, and people say we are similar in a lot of ways.

Golf is a weird sport. Some days you got it. Some days you don't.

I sign autographs and try to be as nice to people as possible, and I do pretty well with that. I understand the importance of it.

I try not to get too emotional, whether it's going really well or going really bad, i always try to stay even keel -- which is great for golf, but it isn't always great for life.

Obviously, it's one of my biggest wins, and especially after a long layoff, to come back out and win in my fifth start, means a lot, i've been working hard on my game and been working hard on me, and so it means a great deal to have some success right out of the gate. It gives me a lot of confidence, too.

Telling me that I can't do something is probably the worst thing that anyone can say, because I'll definitely do it. I'm very determined.

I enjoy playing it every time I step on the course.

I hit the ball really well... had a lot of good looks at birdie all day, it's firm but you could control your golf ball, for sure. Today I controlled my ball very well. The confidence is definitely there. I feel really good about where I'm at and going into tomorrow.
