M: Well, I can't exactly go to hang with my friends at some of the places we used to go to, and just basically raise hell and have a whole bunch of fun. I can't do that any more because it's not good for the public to see that. It's not good for me.

W: Your father said you have the ability to be one of the biggest influences in history, not just golf, humanity. What do you think of that?

M: I think that is more important than just my golf. I think my golf is merely a vehicle to influence people

W: How?

M: How? Oh, so many kids look up to role models, so I can help out kids in a positive way, I can influence their lives in a positive way, and I think that's what it's about.

W: I mean you are only 21, what's the goal? Where do you go?

M: Keep winning.

W: But you know, at a certain point, doesn't lose its thing...?

M: Winning never gets old and having fun never gets old either. And you always have fun.

W: And playing these tournaments is with all the apprehension and everything, still fun?

M: Always. The day it's not fun is the day I quit And it's been fan since I was in the high chair. And it's fun today.

W: This business of having to be a role model, where you can never relax, hang loose, can you?
