I played two holes pretty well. I birdied three and 18 both days.
I loved the quaintness of Orlando in those days. It was an old farm town, a great place, but not really on the map.
There was an outhouse. Cliff Roberts built a john, which is still there.
A golfer has to have mixed feelings about shooting his or her age. It's an exciting day when and if it happens, but it also means that you have to be up in years.
I think it's going to be exciting for me and it's going to be somewhat sentimental,
I watch (Weir) a lot, it's not too far from normal after having a couple of good years, and really playing very well,
It's been a very exciting hole when you think of all the exciting things that have happened. It's always been a focal point.
It's become easier and easier every year since then.
I'm getting to the point where I'm going to just sort of fade away,
It's not fun when you play as poorly as I played, ... My tournaments are getting down to a very few. As far as trying to compete in major championships such as the Open and other tournaments, this is it. I'm through doing it. I'm not going to do it anymore.
The more I practice the luckier I get.
I like my airplane. It's as much a part of me as anything but my wife and kids.
