I can only tell you one thing that I do know for sure, I am a dreamer. There are not many people that will recognize or want to recognize the fact that they are dreamers in their own life ... I continue to get up in the morning,enthusiastically, and go pick up a golf club with a thought that I can somewhere find that secret to making the cut.

To not recognize it as a major is too bad.

I've been playing there since 1955, but now I'm not so sure.
They are all talented and they all have great swings. I don't know that I can keep up with them.
This is one of the few tournaments I've won by finishing with a double-bogey.
