This Is A Game. That's All It

1960, I Was 20 Years Old, And I Was Leading The U.s. Open. Now, I Wasn't Leading By Several Strokes, But I Was Leading The U.s. Open And Playing With Ben Hogan, Had A Very Good Chance To Win, Nine Holes To Go, I Was Leading. I Was Still Leading With Six Holes To Play.

I Came Back And In '63, I Was At The British Open, Trying To Win My First British Open. And I Had What I Thought Was A Two-shot Lead With Two Holes To Play At Lytham. I Remember It Like It Was Yesterday. Anybody With A Proper Brain Would Have Played The Ball Short Of The Hole. I Didn't Have A Proper Brain At The Time. But You Have To Make That Mistake To Learn It.

Nick O'leary Loves To Compete. His Work Ethic Is Fantastic, And That's What I Like About Him. He Works, And Works, And Works; And If He Has To Get Better, He Gets Better.

Reflection Is A Scene That I Will Cherish Forever.

If I Had One Golf Course, From A Design Standpoint, One That I Really Love, It Would Probably Be Pinehurst. There's A Totally Tree-lined Golf Course Where Trees Are Not A Part Of The Strategy.
