The hole was intended proverb

 The hole was intended to be played, according to Bobby Jones, with a three iron or stronger club (for the second shot). I was behind the ropes and Phil Mickelson hit a big driver and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to be played like that.

 Phil Mickelson hit a big driver, power fade down there and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to play like that. I believe [Ben] Hogan is quoted as saying, 'If you ever see me on that green, you know I've missed the shot.' Well, if Hogan was hitting a damn pitching wedge, he wouldn't have been to the right of the green. He'd have been within three feet of the cup.

 There's a lot of talk about 11. I mean, the hole was intended to be played, according to Bobby Jones, with a 3-iron or stronger club.

 I totally understand what they are trying to do. You never want to see the seventh hole become a 3-wood and (a lob) wedge. You don't ever want to see No. 11 become a driver and a 9-iron. That's not what the hole was intended to be.

 Our hole 11 at Campbellsville is 404 yards and on a level surface, and he drove the green on that one -- in competition. He and I played in a golf tournament in Vegas two consecutive years, and on a 517-yard par 5 there, I saw him hit a pitching wedge 95 yards to the green.

 The conditions are perfect. When it's warm, the ball does go farther and it makes the golf hole a lot shorter. That's why the first hole I hit driver, nine-iron and yesterday I hit a driver, five-iron. So that's the difference with the wind.

 We think that the recent changes to the 11th have properly restored the hole to that which Jones intended.

 With a hundred and eleven yards to the green I had a sand-wedge, which was the perfect club for me. It was a little bit down wind left to right. I just tried to hit it in the middle of the green and spin it to the hole.

 I had 128 yards to the front of the green, which is normally a pitching wedge. I used an 8-iron and a sand wedge to get on the green.

 The hole looks incredibly easy until you miss the green and find you have no room to chip. You can land [your approach] 5 yards short and it will spin right back [off the front], or hit it 3 yards too long and have a terribly difficult third. Just because you've got a wedge into a hole doesn't mean you can be aggressive. There are times when hitting it to 20 feet can be a very good shot.

 It was a long day for four holes. I came out hitting it really well, and then got a little unlucky on [Nos.] 3 and 4. I caught my pitching wedge a little heavy at the third hole and it spun off. The putt on the next hole just missed.

 They played extremely well. I'm very happy. It sort of shows us where we stand. We're a stronger 18-hole team than a nine-hole team, which is saying something because we're an awesome nine-hole team.

 (No. 14) is a hard hole. They played the back tee all four days for the first time last year, and that makes a huge difference. Hitting a 5-iron into that small green is difficult.

 This is a three-shot hole to most players ... but also a magnificent two-shot hole, as a skillful and courageous player will ... be able to pull his second shot around to the green.

 I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.
