badly cut jack
I wanted Jack Lemmon to make that cut at the AT&T as badly as I've ever wanted anything.
bad biggest both deal eight great helps hit knows left partner putting require requires rubber shot tough trying whether
It helps a great deal because I know what he can do and he knows what I can do. We both know that if we both hit a bad shot we are not going to feel like we have left our partner stranded. The tough thing about alternate-shot, whether it is here or in the Ryder Cup, is stranding your partner. It is like you are putting them out on a rubber dinghy with one oar. But you know what, we are all trying. As they say, 'life doesn't require you to be the biggest or the best, all it requires of you is to try.' And all eight of us are going to be trying our hardest.
bunker bury designed elephants night three
You could bury three elephants in that bunker. I think Nicklaus designed that bunker at night.
enjoying fun love
It's as much about us enjoying you as it is you enjoying us. It's fun for us. I love this.
correct
Does that feel awful? Good, it's correct then.
demeanor dominated game looking pattern players tried
You're looking at players right here who have dominated the game for 50 years. These individuals are the kind of players who I have not only tried to pattern my game on the course, but my demeanor on and off the course.
beginning field fields paying players reducing start
I think it is wrong. I think the idea of paying players to play or reducing the field is ludicrous. I think when you start paying players and reducing fields that is the beginning of the end.

I've always had a pretty quick focus and that's what is needed at this type of event. This event is tailor made for me and fits my style of play.
event feeling kids means
I'm still not feeling that hot, but this event means so much for the kids, ... That's what it's really all about. For the kids, this is an important week.
great missing sloppy
Got off to a great start, then started missing fairways. Really sloppy on the back nine.
arnold competition couple cup familiar format forward franklin great hero hit looking might norman offers partner played playing putt shark shot type understand
I am very much looking forward to it. I am very familiar with this type of format from playing in Ryder Cup competition before. I have played this competition with Arnold before when we played in the Shark Shootout. When Greg Norman had his first couple of Franklin Templeton Shark Shootouts we had a straight, pure, alternate-shot format in one of the rounds, so I understand it and there is strategy. But it also offers opportunities for you to be the hero. At any one time, your partner might not hit a great shot or he could hit a great shot you can make the hero putt or make the hero recovery.
sure
Sure I do. After all, I know Tonya Harding.
close giving golf good guys highlights needle quite
It is going to be right down my alley. These guys not only are my heroes, but they are also very, very close friends, and good friends. We will be giving each other the needle quite a bit. It is going to be one of the highlights of my golf career, I can tell you that.
boils champions guys opportunity true walk winning won
Winning tournaments is all great, these guys have all won tournaments. But what it boils down to is having the opportunity to walk the fairways with your heroes, with the true champions of the game.
