You don't win the U.S. Open by being lucky, throw it up there and hope. He's got credentials.

You always see on the highlights the home run. You might see the diving catch. You don't see the spectacular stuff, the stuff that really makes the game work. That's what we're missing.

We've known all these kids since they were babies. It's impressive to see what they've grown up to become.
