I was playing golf in Palm Springs and after a round I asked the waitress in a restaurant to bring me a glass of iced tea and lemonade. A lady sitting nearby heard me and asked the waitress to bring her a "Palmer," too. The name caught on and the beverage quickly spread around the country.

The game is so fantastic, and people who get into it love it so much...I'd be pleased with that. There's no game like it.

As for 1994 [ U.S. Open], I didn't do very well, but it was a great occasion for me even though I was not playing the way I had hoped. And it was obviously a very emotional day that last day, but it was a great memory for me and I have had a lot of great memories at Oakmont over the years.

I am so pleased with my golf course. I am to say that it's the best I've ever seen it - without equivocation.

I had a system, and the system worked.

My father started on this golf course at Latrobe when he was sixteen years old. He was digging ditches when they were building the golf course.

I think today's athletes generally are spoiled by what's happened to salaries, but I also think that golfers have maintained the best demeanor of any sport.
