The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.

The only reason I ever played in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.

Over the years I've studied the habits of golfers. I know what to look for. Watch their eyes. Fear shows up when there is an enlargement of the pupils. Big pupils lead to big scores.

I hope I'll never get too old to want to take part in this event, and I don't think I will ever age that much.

If I could have shot 69 in the last round every time, I would have won nine U.S. Opens. Nine!

'You know Bobby, when I was your age I'd drive the ball right over those trees at the corner.' Feeling challenged Mr. Cole hit a big driver right into those big trees. Snead then said 'Of course, when I was your age, those trees were only 10 feet high.'

Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
