The areas off the greens are masterpieces. I don't think there's anything like it in North America.

It's Star Wars golf. This place was designed by Darth Vader.

I have felt terribly from the beginning when I saw the problems and recognized that they would be ongoing. We were hired to put back the contours of the greens as closely as possible to George Thomas's designs and were real proud of what we did. It's a sad situation now

The reason the Road Hole at St. Andrews is the most difficult par 4 in the world is that it was designed as a par 6.

It's emotional for every champion who decides to step down, it's a tough decision. It's probably easier for some, like me. But I'm just going to try to take it in stride. It's part of life.

I do not think I could go on living unless I felt that one day I might win the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

But, if you miss (the supposedly easy pin) by just a little bit, you're looking at the next putt from 30 feet. The ball just rolls away.
