[Even the notoriously hard-to-impress Americans were in awe of Fisher during the recent Walker Cup in Chicago, where he remained unbeaten in singles. Great Britain and Ireland may have lost the contest by the agonising margin of 14½-13½ but Chigwell's finest announced his status as a superstar-in-waiting by birdying four of the last five holes to defeat the vastly experienced Michael Putnam on the opening afternoon.] Unbelievable, ... Oh, how I would love to have 10 per cent of Oli's future earnings. |
[So if it feels like you can't escape the technological turmoil, get used to the feeling.] We're just seeing the beginnings of this right now, ... We are very, very early in the e-commerce market. |
He's tall. He played professional basketball. He's got to be good. |
I didn't come to expect a 65. I told one of my buddies on the phone that I was going to shoot 3-under or 4-under, just kind of joking around. He's probably laughing that I shot better than that. |
I finally did everything on the golf course. Made birdie, made par, made bogey. After that, I was pretty calm and ready to go. |
I guess I turned pro on an airplane. |
I waited all summer to turn pro until after the Walker Cup (two weeks ago). That was my whole goal this summer, to play in the Walker Cup, get the Cup back for the United States. After we did that, it was an easy decision to turn pro and not play in the Amateur. |
I was a little nervous. The first couple holes I hit my driver everywhere, but fortunately I hit some good recovery shots and made some birdies off of them. |

I was happy to be here. Once I got the call with the sponsor's invitation, I didn't think twice about (the U.S. Amateur). |
It was a surprise how high that number was. That's just money left on the table -- as much as $10 million turned away annually. |
It worked out perfectly, |
They have a little pro-am. Since I'm so young they didn't know if I was playing as a pro or as an amateur. I was asking where registration was. They didn't really know. I had to explain to about three security guards what I was doing. |
Those companies will face the same issues that the music industry faces today: How do you protect content from being copied and distributed over the Internet? |
To make that putt shows some guts. I had two really good matches with him. For a 16-year-old, he's pretty good. |
