senior names honor
You want an Open title by your name. To finally get it, even though it's a Senior Open, I still regard it as a very high honor.
golf great help people player scratch secret shoots
He can communicate with people and he understands the golf swing. He can take a player who shoots 120, and a scratch player, and help them both. I think that's the secret to a great teacher, being able to communicate with all types.
cameras golf incredible piece wanting wherever
I told him out there, 'I don't see how you do it, I don't see how you put up with all this every week,' ... It's pretty incredible out there. At 8 in the morning, it's packed wherever he goes. ... They're all just wanting a piece of him. They're wanting his golf ball, his autograph; cameras are flashing every which way. It's pretty unbelievable.
secret
I told y'all you can't write that, ... Don't give my secret away.
best goes guys perks trying whatever
It's just about always the same. I know what I like. I know where I play my best golf. I think most guys feel that all those perks or whatever else goes with a tournament, they're nice, they're appreciated, but you have to go where you think you can win, because out here that's what we're all trying to do.
couple head present quite ready shot somehow thinking today
I've got to somehow regroup. I shot a couple over today in the pro-am. ... My head wasn't quite in it. I was out in space. I'm thinking too much in the past. I've got to refocus, get back in the present and get ready to play golf.
couple fire golf hit last played tour yards
Skill? That's kind of where the tour has gone. You can hit it 50 yards off-line and hit a wedge out of the rough. They can still fire at the flagstick. That's the way golf has played out the last couple of years.
cutting hiding locker maybe problem watch watching
I watch in the locker room, ... they're great. They're cutting up with each other. I don't see any problem between those two. Maybe there is, but I can't read 'em by just watching what they're doing. Maybe they're hiding something.

It's a bummer I don't get to defend at Bay Hill, but I wasn't going to do a good job being there.

It's night and day from last year what they did to that hole. It's an animal. Whoever wins Sunday is not just going to walk away with the win. They're going to have to earn it.
against bad cushion felt hit jack left mike mother pin putt tom
It was me and Tom Watson against him and Mike Weir, ... The whole day, Jack was needling me. If I hit a bad shot, left a putt short, whatever. He'd say, 'Yeah, my mother would have done it like that.' And I was thinking, 'Did he just say something about me?' I felt like a pin cushion out there.
says sure
Each of us went to him and wanted to make sure he's OK. He says he's OK. He's made us very relaxed.
best hits
He did what? That's shocking. He hits the best 2-iron out here. He must be getting old.
I thought they were just going to go out and kill 'em, ... That was my first impression. I said, 'Well, there's a point.'
