Billy Mayfair Quotations

I'm going to go out and try to play my game and make some birdies. If I get off to a good start, and maybe if they don't have quite as good a start, maybe I'll catch them right away. It's 18 holes, and that back side will get hard and tricky. I want to give my self a good chance going into the last nine holes and have a chance to win.

I met a gentleman who gave me a golf ball from when I finished one of my matches there. It was old and yellow.

I would have to say anyone within five shots of the lead has a pretty good shot if the wind blows. If it stays calm, maybe not.

This is why I spend hours on the range and this is why I'm away from my family as much as I am. I have a chance. ... I'm really looking forward to it.

You can kid about Phil, but he's one of the most intelligent persons I've ever met.

It's 18 holes, and that back side will get hard and tricky, and the winds are going to blow. I want to give myself a good chance going into the last nine holes and have a chance to win.

I think you have to hit it left today. If you carried it, it's still not going to go through the fairway too much. A couple of the long hitters can fly right over them, but most of us are going to have to play it left today.

(Donald) missed a little putt on 10, and we both were kind of spilling oil. But, boy, he came right back and birdied 13 and 14. He really did what he had to do to win.

No matter what, the player is always right, ... The caddie's never right.

Any more on this tour, it's better to be aggressive than anything else. I'll play the same way tomorrow -- as aggressive as I can. But not stupid.
