guy hits holmes looked rookie
The guy comes up and he apologized to us. We all looked at each other and said, 'Who is that?' We still don't know who it was. ... This rookie class, with Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes and others, hits it a mile.
air attitude highlight infectious remember walked window
It was a smoking-hot day, and they had one window air conditioner that couldn't keep up, ... At the time, he was still on his ventilator in his wheelchair. I remember introducing myself, and he had an infectious smile. He's such a good-looking kid. You go in there with the attitude that you're going to be the highlight of his day, and he was the highlight of my day. I walked out of there and said, 'I've got to do something for him.'
blind control firmness gave holes shots
That made it pretty neat, but it gave a lot of blind holes and shots that you didn't really have much control over, ... And with the firmness of the course, it made it that much more difficult.
I had never heard of staph until I got it. Didn't really know what was. Still don't really know what it is, but I know you just don't want to have it.
age biggest care work
I work at it really hard, ... I try to take care of myself. I'm focused. I want to play. I think that's the biggest difference. Age doesn't really matter.
asked dream players shock shocked tv watched win
I'm still in shock that I got asked to be in this thing, ... I've always watched it on TV and was shocked to be part of it. It's something that I didn't even dream of, actually. First of all, I didn't dream that I'd win the Players Championship.
I still pinch myself that I had the career that I had.
fact high knee level life replaced wearing
I'm going to be wearing the Stryker hat because I'm a walking testimonial to the fact that you can get your knee replaced and still play at a really high level and get your life back.
bigger events guy home larry local unless winning
Being a local guy and this big a tournament, I think it's pretty neat. The only tournaments that would be bigger than this one is the majors, and usually they're not home events for anybody. Unless you're winning Augusta, I guess. Larry Mize winning there (in 1987) had to be pretty special.
against cup generate guys hanging hatred media phil playing stuff tiger together week
We play against guys we play with in the Ryder Cup week in and week out. We're all friends. Why the media want to generate any of this hatred - that's the problem. You even read stuff about Tiger and Phil disliking each other. How come they're always hanging together and playing ping-pong?
