The days of Larry Mize and Ben Crenshaw winning this thing are over.

The jury is still out. Is the public going to embrace an earlier finish to the year? It's a wait-and-see type deal.

I am very pleased that the greatest player that has lived has chosen me to be his assistant again. Obviously, Jack thought I was a good sounding board for the decision-making process throughout the competition. I would have loved to have made the team, but this is another honor that I wish more players could experience in their careers.

I heard the splash; I thought it was a fish. I kind of stepped away, and then I heard all the booing. I thought they were booing me for stepping away from the ball.
