Any time you have two Presidents Cups in a row and you go to the 18th green, I mean, golf is the winner,
It's a good idea for future Presidents Cups to have a reserve ready to play. The people want to see the match played as scheduled.
If Ernie Els were on our team, I think we'd have a better team than the European Ryder Cup team, ... Not to say if we played them we would beat them ? I think we would. But it's a stronger team.
If it did end up in a tie, it has been phenomenal golf. It could happen. If it did, so be it.
I was grinding like I was winning the tournament.
Golf benefited from today. Congratulations to the U.S.A. That putt that Chris holed on the last, I really take my hat off to him. They played better.

I'm using exactly the same clubs, other than No. 4. I was brainwashed into believing it would be abnormal with all the changes. But we're hitting the same club Jack Nicklaus did. I remember Jack hitting 5-iron on No. 11. The greens weren't as fast, but the fairways were lousy.
If there's a golf course in heaven, it's like this. I'm in no hurry to tee off but I hope I'm the head pro some day.
Everything just sort of jived, as they say, into place.
Being up one point is irrelevant. It's like a mile race and you're 50 yards ahead. There's such a long way to go.
The first time I ever saw Arnold Palmer, I said, "There's a star." The first time I saw Jack Nicklaus, I said, "Superstar." I feel the same way about Tiger Woods.
If you don't hit it far enough, go pump some iron.
it doesn't matter what happened in the past or what happens in the present, when we tee up tomorrow, it's a new day. It's a brand new game.
