Favorite local course other than home: Belleair Country Club East Course. No. 14 is one of the prettiest golf holes in Florida. It's a great Donald Ross design.

Favorite course nationally: Bethpage Black, N.Y. Was my home course growing up on Long Island. Love the changes they made for the (U.S.) Open.

Best golf advice ever received: Stay in the present. Don't think about the previous hole, good or bad. Don't look ahead to the next hole.
