Oakmont, You've Got To Be Playing Slope.

You're Always Struggling Because You're Not Playing On A 53-and-a-third By A 120-yard Field. You're Not Playing On A Baseball Diamond. With Golf, Every Field Is Different And Every Atmosphere Is Different. The Grass Is Different. The Weather Is Different. You're Outside. You're Not In A Stadium. There Are So Many Different Variables, So You Never Master Golf. So, I Think Good Athletes Like A Challenge.

I'd Rather Be Two Strokes Ahead Going Into The Last Day Than Two Strokes Behind. Having Said That, It's Probably Easier To Win Coming From Behind. There Is No Fear In Chasing. There Is Fear In Being Chased.

I Love The Golf Courses Because It Brought The Best Out Of Me. It Made Me Prepare, Made Me Work At It, Made Me Do The Things I Needed To Do To Be Better, And That's What I Loved About Usga Events. If You Couldn't Handle It, Then You Got Beat, And That's Ok.

I Know It Sounds Selfish, Wanting To Do Something No One Else Has Done. But That's What You're Out Here For - To Separate Yourself From Everyone Else.

Golf Is Game Of Respect And Sportsmanship; We Have To Respect Its Traditions And Its Rules.
