If you don't hit it far enough, go pump some iron.
If you can get ahead, it's definitely a psychological advantage.
Any time you have two Presidents Cups in a row and you go to the 18th green, I mean, golf is the winner,
Arnold (Palmer) played 50 times. I'd like to play 51 times and then hang it up.
Arnie played 50 years and quit, so maybe I'll play 51 and hang it up.
Ernie is as tough as can be, and I think his performance in the last two majors left him highly motivated. I wouldn't be surprised if he won at St. Andrews.
It's very long for me. I'm driving it into the face of every hill out there (and) had to hit a wood into every (par-4) hole.
I want to play one more than Arnie. I want to get to 51.
It's like a mile race and you're 50 yards ahead. This is as close as it can be without being a tie.
It was calling for a real good match.
It's a good idea for future Presidents Cups to have a reserve ready to play. The people want to see the match played as scheduled.
That putt Chris made, I take my hat off to him, ... What a day's golf.
They've got to do it -- there's not even a debate, ... There must be a premium on driving.
It's exactly the same. You wait until the tournament starts. You'll hear the cheers. It will be great.
