밒 wouldn뭪 say that he didn뭪 see that I was ready, but you do have a feel when the other guy is going to hit. Right as I was in the top of the backswing, I think he must have pulled like a 5-wood or a 3-wood and obviously everybody started screaming. So that didn뭪 help very much. It뭩 unfortunate.?/strong> ?Sergio Garcia, blaming Tiger Woods after blocking a shot from the second fairway deep into the right trees during the third round of The Players. The comment ignited a war of words through the media and made an already frosty relationship that much colder.
밯ell, the marshal told me (Sergio) already hit so I pulled a club and was ready to play my shot. Then I heard his comments afterward, and it뭩 not real surprising that he뭩 complaining about something.?/strong> ?Woods, responding to Garcia뭩 accusations.
밒뭢 not going to lie, he뭩 not my favorite guy to play with. He뭩 not the nicest guy on Tour.?/strong> ?Garcia, getting in one last shot at Woods after finishing the third round, which was suspended because of darkness, on Sunday morning. When asked about not playing with Woods in the final round, Garcia responded, 밒 think it뭩 good for both of us. We don뭪 enjoy each other뭩 company. You don뭪 need to be a rocket engineer to figure that out.?/strong>
밯e didn뭪 do a lot of talking.?nbsp;?Woods, when asked if he ever spoke directly to Garcia about the incident.
밒 said, 멖ey, Dad, I just made $1,800,?and he hung up on me.?/strong> ?Fred Couples, on his dad뭩 reaction when he impulsively turned pro and skipped his senior year at the University of Houston to play in the Queen Mary Open, a regional professional event at El Dorado Park in Long Beach, Calif. He called his parents after the tournament with the news.
밫he seven in a row was like a conveyor belt, in many ways. I couldn't get off it. I was going to say a treadmill, but I've never been on that.?/strong> ?Colin Montgomerie, on the eight Order of Merits he won on the European tour, including seven in a row from 1993-99.
밒 vote on the basis of who뭩 worthy, and there뭩 always majors in it for me. He won뭪 be remembered for the Ryder Cup when he뭩 dead and buried. It will just be something that happened in a Ryder Cup. I understand he has a fantastic record and is a great player, but he should have won majors.?/strong> ?Two-time major champion Tony Jacklin, to the Florida Times-Union, on Montgomerie뭩 Hall of Fame induction.
밃t that time, I didn't have a manager, or an agent, or a lawyer, or a chef, or a masseuse, or a trainer, or a cellphone, or anyone to call. I made what was probably, at the time, the dumbest decision I ever made. Turned out to be the greatest decision.?/strong> ?Couples, again, on his decision to turn pro.
밒 think everybody is just kind of in shock. Anytime you tell someone if they don뭪 already know, everybody just can뭪 believe it. It seemed like the Tour did everything they could to protect him. It seems like the opposite of what the suit claims.?/strong> ?Bob Estes, on Vijay Singh뭩 lawsuit against the PGA Tour.
밫he biggest disappointment of the day was on the first tee because (the announcer) didn뭪 announce me as the Masters champion.?/strong> ?Adam Scott, after he was introduced as the 2004 Players champion before Thursday뭩 first round of The Players Championship.
밯e were talking about his girlfriend, Caroline. I was asking a bunch of questions about her, just because my daughter and my wife are into tennis. Yeah, I don뭪 care about Rory, I was asking about Caroline.?/strong> ?Steve Stricker, on what he talked about with playing-partner Rory McIlroy during the first round of The Players. McIlroy뭩 girlfriend is tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
밫he cut streak means nothing. You don뭪 get a gold star at the end of the day or a gold medal or a million dollars for having the longest cut streak. It means diddly squat.?/strong> ?Billy Horschel, after his cut streak ended at The Players Championship after having made 23 consecutive cuts.
