chance hit perfect shoot shot swing time win
I'd like to shoot 59 before I'm 59. I've shot 60. I'd like to win the PGA, but I think that chance has passed. I'd like to hit a perfect shot each time I swing a club.

ball best chip club hitting late putt struggled swing though until won
I didn't learn how to swing a golf club until late in my career. And even though I won all those tournaments, I still struggled with consistency, and I relied on my strengths, which were hitting the ball long and high, and I could chip and putt with the best of 'em.
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.
chance close good hit putting today
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.
ball close conditions driving easy half hit hole soft wind
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.
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.
bumped hitters short
They've really just bumped any short hitters out of the championship consideration equation.
bumped difficult faced hitters short shots
They've really bumped any short hitters out of consideration. It's more difficult for shorter hitters. The shorter hitters are faced with a lot of improper shots into greens.
fine hit shots
This isn't surprising, ... Scott is a very fine golfer, and he hit the shots he had to hit.
balls hit thrown
I could only hit balls thrown down at my feet.
ball cold foot four hit hole hot tee within
It was kind of a hot and cold day, ... It was very hot, as I hit the ball within a foot of the hole four times today. But my play off the tee was not very good.

arnold ball bit carried early jack maybe names palmer played sam senior tour
This tour is name-driven, always has been and always will be. Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead carried the ball on the early part of the Senior Tour and they made it work. Then we had (Lee) Trevino come on and Jack (Nicklaus) played a little bit. We have to try a little bit harder, because maybe we don't have the names of that type.
