The guy comes up and he apologized to us. We all looked at each other and said, 'Who is that?' We still don't know who it was. ... This rookie class, with Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes and others, hits it a mile.

I'd say normally any TOUR event is close. It's very rare that any of them are runaways. The guys are pretty evenly locked. It's very seldom a guy gets on a roll with his putter to the point where he can really separate himself from the field like Tiger (Woods) has done a few times and Ernie did here, and Duval.

If I ever reach a par-5 in two, they change it to a par-4.

That's my No. 1 goal. I want to be part of (captain) Tom Lehman 's team.

My son's 18, 142 pounds and hits it 40 (yards) by me. Instead of to the pin, he's lasering the distance between me and him.

Being a local guy and this big a tournament, I think it's pretty neat. The only tournaments that would be bigger than this one is the majors, and usually they're not home events for anybody. Unless you're winning Augusta, I guess. Larry Mize winning there (in 1987) had to be pretty special.

I played the Buick at Flint with Tiger and he was air mailing me 50 to 60 yards every shot.

I really feel like I can help the Champions Tour. But at the same time, I'm competitive out here. It's kind of hard to say, okay, that's over and let's go to a new chapter. But I'm not sure. I'm going to have to re-evaluate.

I'll be the homeboy for the week, ... That will be exciting.

I had some opportunities that I took advantage of, but missed a couple and made a couple of really good saves.
