He congratulated me, ... and I put my arm around him and said, 'I'm sorry.' At a time like that, you really feel for a fellow competitor. People still focus on the total collapse of Arnie, but they don't realize I shot 32 on the back nine to force that playoff. There were only 15 rounds under par at Olympic in '66, and I had four of them.

When I drive into Augusta and down Magnolia Lane, there's just a spirit and nostalgia about it that you experience nowhere else. Why? Because it's the same place every year.

I was so dedicated to generating income to keep my family housed and clothed and schooled. That mattered to me. And playing good golf mattered to me. The rest of the things, like how my record stacked up against others, never made that much difference.
