attacks ben bit golf great played
There is a little bit of Ben Hogan in that swing. The way he attacks the ball. He's played some great golf in his career.
fun golf play
I enjoy Augusta. I enjoy its challenges. There's no other golf course like this anywhere. Its greens and its challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough. So the greens are fun to play in sort of a morbid way
thinking america masterpiece
The areas off the greens are masterpieces. I don't think there's anything like it in North America.
life emotional decision
It's emotional for every champion who decides to step down, it's a tough decision. It's probably easier for some, like me. But I'm just going to try to take it in stride. It's part of life.
couple golf fishing
My golf game's gone off so much that when I went fishing a couple of weeks ago my first cast missed the lake.
heart sleep loss
I was horrified. Absolutely heart sick. All I could think of was that after 23 years together, I'd lost my faithful ally. I couldn't sleep, couldn't get the loss out of my mind. It was like discovering that someone in my family had died.
feet missing littles
But, if you miss (the supposedly easy pin) by just a little bit, you're looking at the next putt from 30 feet. The ball just rolls away.
like-you racks golfers
As a golfer, you feel like you're perpetually on the rack [in foursomes]. Mentally, it's very difficult.
miracle today happens
I had a few miracles happen out there today.
beautiful player artist
Spectators around the world enjoyed watching Seve, but talking to a lot of the players, he made such an impression on them the way he played, and the way he was such a beautiful, natural talent. His hands on the club. His address position. He had an unbelievable way of telegraphing through his countenance what he was going to do with the ball. It was just like an artist.
thinking winning one-day
I do not think I could go on living unless I felt that one day I might win the Open Championship at St. Andrews.
