The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.
golf winning player
The fact that Slammin' Sammy couldn't win the Open made it all the more valuable for the players that did win. Gave it a special quality. I'd say a part of the sheen on that trophy comes from my sweat.
