If a British player isn't going to win, many of us always wanted it to be Jack Nicklaus. Apart from the fact that he was a great player, he is a gentleman and always gracious, even in defeat. He's treated like a Scot, which is a strange thing for an American. Quite a tribute.

It was tough tonight, but we got through it. It was ugly, but we'll take the win.
