The three things I fear most in golf are lightning, Ben Hogan and a downhill putt.

I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.

The fairways were so narrow you had to walk down them single file.

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

Never let up. The more you can win by, the more doubts you put in the other players' minds the next time out.

Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
