[Technology is now an obsession, madly pursued. Quigley believes golf clubs aren't improving yearly, or even monthly. He thinks they're getting better by the week. That's why he makes sure to switch clubs faster than most players can unwrap them.] I won the first tournament this year, came in second in the next, and I don't have any of the 14 clubs I used in those tournaments, ... There's always something better. Always. I come here every day and, honestly, it's like Christmas. Like, what new thing can I have? |
But I'm not really sure I've arrived yet, ... I think I'll always have the mentality of the club pro. I'll always carry that banner. |
He put me through every kind of test imaginable. My heart is fine; all my organs are fine. … Every one came out with no problem at all. |
He's not struggling when he comes out here with us. He goes from not being one of the longest hitters to being one of the longest hitters. Kite made the choice to play primarily on that tour, and it's certainly detracted from what he did with us. |
I don't care if it's a major or a minor. They're all majors to me. |
I don't know if I'll ever be accepted, ... I just want my game to be respected. |
I have been changing my diet on my own. I haven't had any salt in the last month, and I cut out caffeine. I only eat meat about once every two weeks. I cut out the kind of stuff that gave my father a heart attack when he was 56. |
I just stuffed a lot of shots close that normally would run 10-15 feet past the pin, ... I get a lot more confident when I know that ball is gonna stop. |
I kept telling myself to be patient. It's a four-day event. It's a major and some of the guys are going to burn and disintegrate before the fourth day. |
I played really solid, no fives on the card ... I don't get too excited with first round scores, but you've got to be up there to have a chance. It's nice to be in the mix. |
I played really solid, no fives on the card. It's good to be near the lead, but I don't get too excited with first-round scores. You've got to be up there to have a chance, so it's nice to be in the mix. |
I really didn't have it today. I knew someone was going to jump out and do something, I was just hoping that it would be me those final few holes. |
I taught her everything she knows, ... She played with me last year, and look what's happened. I hope I have the same impact on Tim as I did Paula. |
I tell my son every time I'm out on the golf course, I learn something. That's what makes you want to show up every day. You're not going through the motions. You're trying to figure something out. I really feel like I'm still improving. If you can't improve your golf swing you can improve the way you think about it and the way you attack golf courses. It's always a learning process. I don't think it ever ends. |
I think they are all amazed. Although they would never tell Hale that. But Hale is the guy that raised the bar to where you can still play when you're 60 years old. This guy is unbelievable. |
