You find out who your friends are. Some people didn't have much to do with me when I was down. I've got a long memory.

I didn't think there was a better short-game teacher than Dick.

I hadn't thought too much about it because I thought I was going to have a long career on the Champions Tour, ... I take the way I feel, or felt, on the golf course and try to compare it with the way some people are playing now, and give reasons for what's going on. I'm always pretty quick with a comment. That's just me.

They'll hit a couple putts off the greens.

The thing that put the question mark in a lot of people's minds was the swing change. I, like a lot of other people, questioned it just for the fact that if you think back to all the great players from Hogan to Snead to Nicklaus, Palmer, Watson and Trevino . . . none of those guys ever changed their swing to get better.

They all look like world beaters, but when they go on the golf course, they have that same practice-tee mentality.

I've been on both sides of that equation. I've left my partners hanging out to dry, and it's an awful feeling. You're trying as hard as you can and you just can't make it happen. Without fail, it comes down to the crucial shot, and you're not the one playing well and you end up tanking your partner. It doesn't feel much worse than that.

Playing fast was something I was never aware I did. It was just the way I played,

I saw things that I haven't seen in a long time. He has too much talent not to get some more (wins). I can't wait to watch this young man play again.

I think everybody got to the point that if he didn't keep doing it, he was going to have a hard time getting there. But they tend to forget that most guys play their best golf in their early to mid 30s. If Tiger follows that routine, he will probably just blow by Jack's record.
