When I was a kid, it was my family and God and the USGA. That was kind of the way I was raised.
The fact is the Berger Foundation has afford us the opportunity to do this. You can't beat it. This is something that, I think as far as golf and golf-related things are concerned, this is the kind of thing that should happen more and more, and particularly in cities where they have golf tournaments such as this.
It has been a matter of great pride for me when my name was placed on an entity of one sort or another over the years, but I can't think of anything that brings me more pleasure and satisfaction than having it on the tournament that has meant so much to me for so long.
I watch (Weir) a lot, it's not too far from normal after having a couple of good years, and really playing very well,
I think it's going to be exciting for me and it's going to be somewhat sentimental,
Hell, who knows? ... Maybe even my golf swing will get better.
That became the talk of the town. They dropped the status of the Amateur, and I'm sorry they did that. How can you say Jones won the Grand Slam if you don't include the Amateur?
He didn't have the speed of Tiger Woods coming through the ball, but he made good contact, and he hit the ball very well up until he couldn't play anymore.
I would not do well if I did not have anything to do, ... If I had to just stop, not do a lot of the things that I'm doing, I don't think I'd be around very long.
I suppose I appreciated Augusta more than anyone,
Well, I suppose you could do worse. That's a pretty heavy group with that many victories.
A golfer has to have mixed feelings about shooting his or her age. It's an exciting day when and if it happens, but it also means that you have to be up in years.
