For the last six or eight years, it has been a wet golf course and really too wet for Ben. It's just a different game now. The ball is rolling, and a lot of guys are seeing a course they never saw before.

I didn't hear the conversation but Mr. Stephens explained to Mr. Roberts that he had plans for me and I'd be all right.

He's the best putter on fast greens ever, I believe.

I'll feel it later over a gin and grapefruit juice.

I really thought I was gonna die. I told the doctors, 'Let me go instead of running up this big bill.' ... Ben was standing there when I needed him. That's somebody who loves you, who really cares.

I owe him everything. He's family to me.

I lived in the house with him and was his man Friday, I guess you could say. I took care of the house for him.

Once he gets it on the right position on these greens, he's dangerous.

About 90 percent of the golfers can read whether the putts are going left or right. But when you get the borderline putts, you've got to have something to lean on. He has something to lean on.

Oh, he was playing terrible before the tournament.
