Quotes
“I think I've learned that it’s a game. I've approached the highs and lows as life-and-death in different scenarios, and that’s not the case," Spieth, who won the 2015 Masters title, said on the Masters website.
"Ten years here, a lot of experience, I can look back and say I learned a lot from winning, and I learned a lot from losing. I feel better now than ever, and hopefully that continues to grow.
"But ultimately, our sport doesn't get heightened more than it does this week. I like to call it our Super Bowl. But at the same time, that’s still a game too.”
