Somewhere along the line I'll be recognized as one of the top players in the Nicklaus era. That's all I want to be remembered for.

The most interesting guy I've ever played with was King Hassan of Morocco. I went over there on a trip in the early 1970s, and the King and I played five holes. I've never been that nervous in my life.

I met Jesse Owens once. He was a remarkable individual, and I have tremendous respect for what he did in the Olympics under the circumstances.

Pressure is trying to make a putt for a $10 bet with only $5 in your pocket.

I got no pride on the hole. It's a par-5 and I play it that way. A four is a birdie.

You don't know what pressure is until you play for five bucks with only two bucks in your pocket.

When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.
