I'm still in shock. I started hitting double-crosses out here and you can't do that. I didn't hit another fairway the rest of the round.
On the second part of the question, we all know that the home team, the home captain can setup the golf course any way he wants.
We sat in the house thinking it wasn't going to be all that bad in Boca Raton, and it was bad - much worse than we thought. It was scary at times. I wish we had left. One tree fell on the roof against the house. When the storm blew the other way, the tree was gone off the roof. It was a big tree, nothing you can pick up with five men.
Yes, the German's have a lot of good engineering people and they might be precise but that doesn't mean 85 million people are all precise.
It was painful and difficult to look at. It is even harder to understand. You see one house on high ground and a few hundred feet away there's nothing but rubble.
It was really to cut down the notion or the idea of some people that golf is only for the rich and not a minority sport and all of that kind of thing.
We're here to offer our support and provide the people with some hope.
I like reading my bible, I like bible studies where I get together with others and talk about the word of God and how it relates to us and how we can change to become more like him.
So when I was told to work, ten, twelve hours a day as an assistant pro, I didn’t complain. It was normal.
There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship.
I crack jokes and play games and that's really more my nature than being cold.
You know, as you get older, the first thing you lose is memory. It seems to be happening with me.
I grew up a Catholic and I dont want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but theres a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.
Wherever we play golf, people come out here to get autographs. They obviously come out to watch us play and see us in action, but they also want to interact with us.
