Matt Kuchar quotes:

I want to qualify for the Tour Championship. Being a Georgia Tech grad, playing at East Lake would feel like home.

Sometimes in golf I've got 10,000 people watching me. Cameras are easy. Doing the Jay Leno show was easy.

Golf's a great game, and you meet a lot of people along the way.

Even if you finish the year at No. 1 in the world, and Tiger Woods has done this, you can still probably get better.

I'm happiest playing a match with my dad and a couple of college friends, taking a few bucks off them.

I grew up admiring Phil Mickelson. He loves competing, and he loves the fans' support, similar to me. In terms of my playing style, Steve Stricker and I are similar.

I'm a decent table tennis player, but if you were to put me up against any of the guys you see on television at the Olympics, I'd be lucky to get a couple of points.

Golf has always been a game where you have to control both ends of the club.

I'm helpless in post-round, hole-by-hole interviews. I can't take you through most of the holes of winning the Players Championship, the U.S. Amateur or Ryder Cup matches. It's like golf amnesia.

I've always been a guy that's liked a crowd and having people around cheering for me. I'm not a guy that will keep his head down or respond negatively to boos or whatever.

I found an instructor, Chris O'Connell, who helped me. He turned me into the player I am today - a consistent golfer.

I had a temper when I played junior golf and had my clubs taken away for slamming them on the ground. I learned very quickly that I didn't want my clubs taken away from me.

I dislike the gym, but I'll chase a tennis ball all day.

I'd like to see something done about the long putters and belly putters. But I go back and forth on that. I've actually worked with a belly putter.

I was always taught that the first rule of bunker play is to just get the ball out. When you have a steep face in front of you, this rule applies more than ever. Here, you have to get the ball up in the air as quickly as possible.

I'm always a competitor. I'm not there just to have a good time. I want to play well and perform well.

I used to turn my shoulders pretty level, which a lot of golfers think is correct. But that made my swing too shallow coming into impact, so my contact was picky, especially off the turf.

There are so many aspects of the game that you can work on - you can drive it father, you can drive it straighter, you can hit your irons higher and more consistently, you can get better with your wedges, and you can always putt better. There's never an end to that striving to get better in golf.

I have a random array of ball markers in my bag and don't use any specific one. Many are the plastic kind you find at almost any golf course.

I love getting up to my folks' house and playing golf with Dad. He's very involved with my off-course ventures, and I talk to him every third day.

As a kid, I wanted to be a pro tennis player. I was pretty good; at the tennis academies I attended, I always 'played up' against older age groups.

The first 18 holes are extremely difficult.

As far as golf being athletic, I would say, go try it, let's see how well you do. It's a hard game.
