I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour, … I always felt that was too young of an age for that.

I have been there, and I know I can do it. Whether it happens or not, I don’t know. I think experience is a great factor. I don’t anticipate Dana playing poorly. I just have...

My point exactly. We still depend on Roger Clemens being out there on the mound. We still depend on our stars leading the way.

I think it’s because of my athleticism that I’m able to compete with these younger guys, … … I relish the challenge. I challenge myself to go out at 60 and play the same golf...

I knew Loren would be successful. He’s just got the right game for it.

With Del Monte, it’s the kind of course where you think you might be able to tear it up,

I welcome it. I think to bring the best players that we possibly can, to encourage them to play, is great for the Champions Tour.

Try seven. I birdied the last two holes.

You always see on the highlights the home run. You might see the diving catch. You don’t see the spectacular stuff, the stuff that really makes the game work. That’s what we’re missing.

In this case, golf is a means to an end. We can’t change the course that someone’s life has taken in the past, but through golf we can help mold that life and give it...

I’d be telling a tall one if I said I wasn’t nervous down the stretch,

That’s too bad. I like the golf course. We’re seeing it under some difficult conditions because of the greens, (but) I have great memories here.

The big eagle on 17 was the clincher, … The putt was up against the collar, which is never a good place to be.

It’s only the second time I’ve played it and I’m not real familiar with the positions from which I should play and how aggressive I can be. But I’m very pleased with the start.

Overall, two very good days hitting the ball. It seems like I’m either doing things very, very well or doing some silly things, missing the green perhaps on the short side and driving the ball...

At least I can see the leader. There are a lot of guys right there. If you’re looking at one person, you’re probably going to be looking at their brake light. You’ve got to get...

Probably one of the best ball-striking days I’ve had this year. If I continue to strike the ball like I did and improve my putting, I think I’ll be right in there.

I think experience helped out there, … I tried really hard not to get too distraught or too caught up in the moment.

I’m not putting as well as I need to in order to overtake that 70 (Friday). I left a lot of putts out there, especially the last nine holes. It kind of tarnished that 66...

I got a swift kick in the tail end this week.

I’m the wild card, the joker in the deck,

I didn’t hit it like I should have. Trying to play at the hole, yes, but you have to build in a little room for error, and I didn’t build in enough.

I didn’t play as crisply today and some of it was the back. I was a little jumpy. I didn’t want to hit it too hard. When it [back] gets like this, it produces some...

He must have left a hole out.

I played well this week. I hit a lot of very, very good golf shots. I relish the challenge of playing and going out at age 60 like I did when I was 50.

It was just probably the poorest executed shot of the week. You’re going over water one way or another, why not go at the flag?

Six holes in one? … I have nine, but I’ve been playing a lot more years than he has. I’d say the young man is a little bit ahead of the curve.

I had my chances. I didn’t have my putts on the last few holes and I am disappointed. I knew I needed to play strong today and didn’t play well.

I am really proud that I have continued to do as well as I have, particularly considering I have had some back [problems] the past couple of years, … And pride I think that is...

I think it’s great for golf. I don’t see any problem with it, if it helps our sponsor.

From the fifth to the 17th hole, I went birdie-less. And it wasn’t from a lock of opportunities, just from a lack of skill. It seems like I am doing things very, very well or...

Every time I won, … I wasn’t sure what I could do. The ultimate shots, the ones you have to hit to win golf tournaments, were never certain with me.

It was a very comfortable distance. The lie was a little tight and the ball was above my feet. I needed to hit it solid and I hit it heavy.

I think 66 over here at Del Monte is a good round. It looks like a course you can tear it up, but it’s a test. The course is not as easy as it looks....

I really didn’t know what was going on until I got to 16. Then I saw I had the lead with Bob. I knew something was going to happen in the last two or three...

I don’t get too excited with first-round scores. But you have to be up there to have a chance. It’s always good to be in the mix.

The adjustments have to be made in your head, … You have to make it in your mind that you are now going to play here [Champions Tour] and that’s it.

I think maybe he’s starting to come to the realization he can’t drive that first green at Cherry Hills like he did in 1960,

To me, that’s what really puts things into perspective as a reminder that there are people out there who have things far worse to deal with than most of us do.

To end it with a shot like that … . It’s going to be a long drive to Tampa, that’s for sure.

I knew when I hit it that it wasn’t enough. The lie was tight and the ball was above my feet I didn’t execute it very well. I needed to hit it solidly but I...

Today was the worst I’ve played in the tournament. I played pretty well on Friday and I played really well on Saturday.

I relish the challenge of playing and going out at the age 60 to play like I did when I was 50.

Did you see where Freddie hit it?

I feel like I’ve left a few out there, but coming in with two birdies on the final two holes sort of eliminates some of that.

I got off to a good start with birdies on three of four holes and kept it going the rest of the way,

He’s done, unfortunately, what I was afraid he was going to do. He came right off the regular tour. There is an intensity level that you still have to have, and to see what he...

As I look out here, … having to watch Tom Kite with that putting stroke I think to myself … why has he been playing the PGA Tour? Tom, look at that stroke. That’s why...

The biggest thing I’ve learned is … I’ve learned myself. It’s something a lot of these guys never do.

I hit a lot of very good golf shots this week. I’m not going to beat up my short game, but I had some putting difficulty. But I’m not complaining.
