Chris DiMarco Needed Quotations

I felt I needed to get a little bit stronger, so I'm doing that. It really helps. I'm certainly longer. I'm seeing probably 5 to 12 yards difference for the most part.

I did it for 13 other guys counting (Jeff) Sluman and Mr. Nicklaus -- let alone the whole country. It's unbelievable. We needed this Cup, we needed it. We really did. When people get down on us and say we don't care, I can tell you one thing, we care.

Courses are not getting any shorter. I could not hit the ball an average of 279, 280 (yards) and compete out here still. I needed to get eight to 10 more yards somehow. It makes a big difference.

If you're hoping for him to make bogey, you didn't do what you needed to do out there.

I can promise you that's not true. There was a lot of pressure here, I can assure you. That last putt I thought I might whiff, I was that nervous. My caddie told me, 'This is the moment you've been waiting for your whole life, so go ahead and do it'. So I did. We needed this cup. We really did.
