Once you play a tournament, you're playing against the golf course, you're playing against yourself and trying to do the best you can.

Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses.

Bob Ford is a great guy. He's a great friend. He's done a great job at Oakmont and Seminole. He's a very quiet man. He doesn't get in the middle of everything, but he understands what a nice job he's done at both places.

Johnny Miller is a very honest guy. That may have been to his detriment sometimes. On television, he's too honest. We talk about it a lot. Do you really need to be that honest? You know what I mean? But he's a good man. He's a good family man. He's got good values, and we're delighted to have him as our honoree.
