beat body continue golf keeps man perfect slowing swing
He just keeps on winning. He's got a perfect body for a golf swing. When he's got his swing under control, he's always the man to beat out here. He's so accurate. I don't see him slowing down too much. He's amazing. He's 60, but he's going to continue to win.
came cream crop dominated last open player reason year
Hale has dominated this tour. Probably the only reason I came out of last year as Player of the Year was because Irwin's back went out on him at the U.S. open and he couldn't play for a while. He's the cream of the crop out here.

Lots of bittersweet things have happened to me since Bruce's diagnosis in January. The bitterness is that there's nothing to hang on to. Your hope is to find an island before you run out of time.

bar beer bruce crying cup island knowing last left might parking sea time
When I left Bruce here last year, he was crying in the parking lot. He thought that was going to be his last Masters. Of course, it was. The last time he caddied for me was at the UBS Warburg Cup on Sea Island last fall. On Sunday, we went to the bar and had a beer together, knowing that might have been the last time, too, which it was.

front gave good nine struggled
I started way too late. I struggled on the front nine and then I gave myself good putts at the end.

The scoring conditions were ideal with no wind and I played well today. It was a good ball-striking day but I could have putted a little better.

I've worked with it. I took three putts and hit the first one about 3 inches fat. The second one, I hit it; and I hit the third 15 inches fat. That was it.

You can't ignore things like that, ... We've got a culture here that has depended on an educational level that is not appropriate for the times we're living in.
