I've never made a nickel in my lifetime where I wasn't a little nervous getting it. |
It's hard for me to look at it, because it's looking into a future that I don't have. I don't have any tenure out here. I'm still looking at this week and next week. I'm trying to play good, because I need to play well. |
It's just experience. There's not a whole lot you can tell a guy — shorten his follow-through, or release the head more, stuff like that. You've got to kind of figure it out on your own. |
Jack absolutely has to have this. Even if he pars here, he needs to finish birdie-birdie-birdie to make the cut. If he misses, there's no chance. |
Now he's calling me all the time. |
Payne Stewart loved life. He was the life of every party. |
Payne Stewart was a vicious competitor. He only played to win, ... Only God can change hearts. |
That's just a testament to the golf courses. It's a diverse test. They put bunkers in places where those big boys will find them and I won't. It's different this week. |
The best players in the world are playing to make history. There are only four tournaments you can win to make history, and TPC (The Players Championship) is not one of them. And neither are those world events. And you're not going to make history winning some kind of FedEx Cup. |
The bigger the event, the higher he'll raise the bar, ... He's Michael Jordan in long pants. |
The greens for the first time, really all year, are going to be firm. That takes a little getting used to. |
The longer Bermuda gets, the weaker the grass is, the blade itself, and it doesn't withstand the weight of the ball and the ball drops all the way to the bottom. Out West, the blade's wider. It's thicker, heavier grass, and the ball (rarely) reaches the ground. |
There is nothing wrong with [calling it after] 54 holes, |
There is nothing wrong with [calling it after] 54 holes. The whole way it was handled didn't make any sense to me. |
There was a time when the guys who [hit it long] were considered dumb-asses, because they just bombed it and didn't care where it was going. I can hear Lee Trevino saying, 'If that guy had half a brain ' Now, that's the game. Vijay bombs it. Tiger bombs it. It doesn't go in the fairway, but [that doesn't matter]. Tiger was dead last in fairways at San Diego, and he won. |
