«I think everybody got to the point that if he didn't keep doing it, he was going to have a hard time getting there. But they tend to forget that most guys play their best golf in their early to mid 30s. If Tiger follows that routine, he will probably just blow by Jack's record.»

«The thing that put the question mark in a lot of people's minds was the swing change. I, like a lot of other people, questioned it just for the fact that if you think back to all the great players from Hogan to Snead to Nicklaus, Palmer, Watson and Trevino . . . none of those guys ever changed their swing to get better.»

«Playing fast was something I was never aware I did. It was just the way I played,»

«I hadn't thought too much about it because I thought I was going to have a long career on the Champions Tour, ... I take the way I feel, or felt, on the golf course and try to compare it with the way some people are playing now, and give reasons for what's going on. I'm always pretty quick with a comment. That's just me.»

«I was thinking I probably needed a couple more [birdies] on the back, but turns out I didn't, ... All of a sudden, I'm sitting there at 18 and thinking, `Well, Nick Price has to make birdie to tie me' ... and he knocked it over the green and made bogey.»

«I always had the opinion [as a player] that if Johnny Miller or Ken Venturi or Dave Marr said something that I didn't agree with, I felt they always had credibility because they had at least been there and done it,»

«[Imagine yourself in this scenario: Your partner drives it 310 yards in the fairway, leaving a perfect angle to the flag. Having not hit a full iron shot for two holes, you double-cross it and put him in some bilious bottle dungeon on the left, from where he hits a buried alive, Siegfried and Roy, can't ever be duplicated, miracle pitch to six feet for a potential halve. How badly do you want to make that putt?] I've been on both sides of that equation, ... I've left my partners hanging out to dry, and it's an awful feeling. You're trying as hard as you can and you just can't make it happen. Without fail, it comes down to the crucial shot, and you're not the one playing well and you end up tanking your partner. It doesn't feel much worse than that.»

«Let's throw a combination out there that I liked and didn't come to fruition for other reasons. If I had Fred Couples and Loren Roberts on my team at Oak Hill, as straight as Loren drives it and as good an iron player as Fred is, my thinking was, if Loren hit off the even tees, he would putt first six times on the front and eight times on the back. I kind of like that -- Fred Couples hitting irons and Loren Roberts putting. That's a helluva combination.»

«I think when we leave here next September, I'd rather see golf as the main winner and both teams leave on an upbeat and positive note. I think we're very, very fortunate to be playing on such a wonderful golf course as Oak Hill.»

«He's [Peter Jacobsen] had Arnold as a partner and done very well with Arnold. If he can carry Arnold, he can carry damn near anybody.»
