He had obvious symptoms for almost a year before the diagnosis. Bruce knew he was in trouble when he went into a bar one time, ordered a drink and the guy said, 'I'm not serving you, you're drunk.' That woke him up.
admire battles coming hit hole jack last man mean meanness treated word
I admire Jack for many things, but especially for the way he always treated our relationship. Jack was never mean in any sense of the word -- there was no meanness in him. So at St. Andrews, coming up the last hole with him, it all hit me: the kind of man he is, the battles we had, and especially, that this was the end. . . . That was very emotional.
beat body continue golf keeps man perfect slowing swing
He just keeps on winning. He's got a perfect body for a golf swing. When he's got his swing under control, he's always the man to beat out here. He's so accurate. I don't see him slowing down too much. He's amazing. He's 60, but he's going to continue to win.

I hit the ball pretty close to the hole all day, ... It was an easy day to score. The wind wasn't blowing. The TPC of Dearborn, when the conditions are soft like this, if you're driving the ball half decently, you're going to do pretty well.

I had my troubles today. It was just one of those days I played a little sloppy.

I'm very grateful to have been able to make those critical putts at the right time. The greens tested your skill with the flat stick. I finally got used to in the last round.

They've really just bumped any short hitters out of the championship consideration equation.

I didn't expect to be here doing this today. It was a round that I'll always remember.
balls hit thrown
I could only hit balls thrown down at my feet.
