Stuart Appleby quotes:

America has given me everything Australia couldn't. I grew up on a dairy farm. Now I live in Isleworth, a gated community in Orlando with Tiger Woods down the street.

I had to do something special coming in. I didn't do it, so I had to do it in the playoff. Winning the Mercedes is awesome. Winning three times is a dream come true.

If a cow walked into this room, I'd probably walk out. I could milk it, but my dad never forced me to do a lot of chores like that, mostly because he loved doing it himself.

I was slightly disappointed, but also encouraged, because I put myself in position to win a major, which is all even Tiger says he tries to do.

The Masters is a very important tournament. You don't want to jeopardize your chances. The sponsors understand that.

I didn't really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna, Australia. When they got home, I'd ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.

I was from the bush, watching Greg Norman on TV, but it was a world away.

In America, if you want to make it as a golfer, you go to college on a scholarship. In Australia, you go to the airport with a plane ticket. The competition just isn't there.

The top golfers in the world are like Formula One cars when it comes to their swings.

I can certainly see how people are overcome by depression.

We all say, 'You don't have to run around playing all these tournaments and trying to conquer the world like Dr. Evil.'

I certainly don't think adrenalin coursing through your veins, is going to help with the fine motor skills of golf.

I never got to the point of needing drugs or thinking about giving up myself.

I always say golf's a really good exposer of a player's personality.

Getting through the nights is the toughest part. Being alone. Not having her there to talk to.

Americans believe if you go to college, you have something to fall back on, which makes sense. I don't have any degrees. If I hadn't become a golfer, I have no idea what I would be doing with my life.

Dance as if no one's watching, love as if it's never going to hurt.

I don't remember too many rounds where you get shots given to you. Usually, ones are taken away.
