front gave good nine struggled
I started way too late. I struggled on the front nine and then I gave myself good putts at the end.

The scoring conditions were ideal with no wind and I played well today. It was a good ball-striking day but I could have putted a little better.

Bruce has been a good friend, a good companion and we've been a good team. He's also got a great sense of humor.

I got it going pretty good today and overall the week was pretty good. Now I'm going home and rest.
basketball beautiful compete football game golf good later longer sports
The beautiful thing about the game of golf is you can play good golf and compete well into your later years, and you can't do this in basketball or football or baseball. But in golf, it's a longer live sport.

They better watch out because Jack and I have always been good partners. We've been good partners in money games, practice rounds and we've been good partners in the Ryder Cup, so watch out boys.
finished five four good hole holes last life lousy messed played round
When you come off that last hole and you've just finished a good round of golf, life is good. When you come off that last hole and you messed it up through four or five holes and just played a lousy round of golf, it's just not a very good day. It just isn't.

I'm very happy with my life. I am what I am. I don't worry about anything that I can't control. That's a really good lesson in life.

Today was uneventful, I hit very little close and when I did nothing went in. I need to have a good putting day to have a chance and salvage the tournament.
course ended five front gives good last magic number season side starts thinking year
You take what the course gives you. After the 30 on the front side today, I started thinking about that magic number and it starts with a five (59). I choked. But it's a good start to the season for me. I ended last year with a 64 and started this one with a 63.
hit inches second third three took worked
I've worked with it. I took three putts and hit the first one about 3 inches fat. The second one, I hit it; and I hit the third 15 inches fat. That was it.

You don't win golf tournaments when you do that.
compete months winter
That's what I'm out here to do. Compete and win. It makes the winter months a whole lot better.
arm bad bruce came cowboys deal diagnosed doctor eagles fears guys joke phone somebody sort whenever
I was on the phone with Marsha, who said the doctor had diagnosed him with ALS. I said, 'Gosh, my fears are realized.' When Bruce got on the phone, he said, 'Well, I just made a quad.' You guys know what that means. That's how he just kind of brushed it off. I said, 'Yeah, but we're going to get back to even par.' Whenever somebody came up to put their arm around him and say they were sorry, Bruce would say, 'Don't be sorry, I can deal with it,' and then put them off with some sort of joke about the Eagles or how bad the Cowboys were.
