His tremendous internal drive is what fuels both his preparation and performance as well as his sort of sullen personality who plays his cards very close to the vest. This is why you see the incredible release and raw passion when he wins, and why it goes the other way when he loses. He'll never be as gracious as Jack, nor as friendly as Phil. It's just not his style. I will be fascinated to see if he truly opens up in a memoir after his playing days are done, so we can get a peek into what really went on in his head.
