Billy Andrade Quotations

He was the guy I looked up to, that I wanted to be like,

He had no idea what this was all about. He shows up and there are 30,000 people out here, and the more he struggles in front of all these people, the more he keeps cussing his agent.

Today, I was (from) Barrington, I was from Fall River, I was from all over southeastern Massachusetts and no one said Bristol,

Guys are learning the golf course a little better.

He was like my big brother, ... He really took care of me -- made sure I met everybody, and played practice rounds with great players. He did a lot for me when I came out, things I'll never forget.

I think Brad and I have fed off each other our whole careers, and to see him win like that just inspires me even more, ... If you can't get inspired by what he did, then you don't have a pulse because that was awesome the way he won that tournament.

I think I might have to cruise into Barrington tomorrow morning, ... and put a banana in his tailpipe.

We all think about winning, that's why we are out here, ... Like I said earlier, you just need some breaks to go your way, and when that happens, you better take advantage of it.

You gotta get your body into it! I grew up here! Like Mickelson in Phoenix,

To suck it up and do what I did means a lot more than when I was 40th on the money list and everybody was telling you how great you are,

Could I have done that earlier in my career with less experience? I doubt it, so maybe that's why it was so satisfying.

It's great for New England golf fans that the PGA Tour has made Labor Day weekend an annual end-of-summer destination at the TPC.

It's really great having people cheering you on, because it's usually the other way around. Phil Mickelson at the third round of Doral this year was just, it was just unbelievable, ... There was no one (shouting) 'Bill.'

That's such a key thing, and it's really been something I've noticed,

It's a new course and everyone has the same advantage. None.

It just wasn't my time, and that's something you realize when you are out here a lot of years,

I love this feeling. I love being in this position.

I kind of kept the momentum going from last week and just took that into here, at a place where I enjoy playing.

If you can't get inspired by what happened last Sunday in Hartford, then there's something wrong with you, ... That fired me up to want to play well, starting today.

I have to take care of me and go out there and keep doing what I'm doing. Like I said, this is what it's all about.

I really like what Davis (Love) did to the course, and it's now more like a Pinehurst course, ... Before it was more like a northern course, but I think now after he opened it up, it just suits my eye a little better.

I am not going to back down. I'm going to go for it tomorrow and I'm going to play exactly the same way I played today and the first two days.

All you can do is give yourself a chance, ... Today wasn't my day.

The logic is that every sport ends with a bonanza, and ours doesn't. The Tour Championship is going up against football and the World Series. We need to stand on our own.
