It was a special team, ... the sweetest thing that's ever been done for me. |
It was at the Sahara. Ang hadn't yet cashed my check when we walked up to the craps table together. He had 40 bucks in his pocket when he picked up the dice. Forty-five minutes later, he was still the shooter and I had made $14,000. Angelo was $25,000 ahead. 'Give me the money,' I said. 'For once in your life, you're not going to blow it.' 'Can I pay my debts?' he asked. 'Of course.' He had $9,000 worth of debts. He asked, 'Can I send my mother $3,000?' I said, 'That's very admirable.' There was $13,000 left. I put it in a little trust fund. 'To get at it,' I told him, 'you're going to have to convince my wife you need it.' It took him less than six months to talk her out of every cent. That was Angelo. |
It was great for me because it felt like I actually had done something well and I hadn't prepared for it. I hadn't prepared for it like I did 10 years earlier when I would just be consumed by it. |
It was like I could still summon what I had and still could use it coming down the stretch. |
It was obviously a great week for me and an exciting week, one that was kind of fun to look back on. It's about the only television event when I see it come on television, I actually stop and watch a little bit of it. |
It was very appropriate, I would say. |
It was very important for Phil, ... When he won his match I said, 'Well, you've doubled your allotment for the week.' So we gave him a hard time. |
It's a different golf course, but it's a different game being played today. |
It's a funny game. We got you guys pretty good yesterday, but it could turn around. |
It's a lot of fun to try to strategize and work it out on paper. But no matter what teams you throw out there, anybody can beat anybody. I think we've got some great matches. |
It's a major championship in the game of golf, ... But is it one of the ones that you want to put in that list? Because of Jones is the only way you would put it there. I accept it either way. |
It's a matter of scoring goals and a matter of knowing it's going to happen, |
It's about the only event, when I see it come on television, I actually stop and watch a little bit. |
It's hard for me to get into a flow hitting a shot every 20 seconds. I always enjoyed playing it in the Ryder Cup format. The ability to get eight different golfers here is kind of neat for you guys. I think it produces a lot of interesting things. |
It's hard not to play golf that's up to |
