I Don't Know If I'll Ever Do

1960, I Was 20 Years Old, And I Was Leading The U.s. Open. Now, I Wasn't Leading By Several Strokes, But I Was Leading The U.s. Open And Playing With Ben Hogan, Had A Very Good Chance To Win, Nine Holes To Go, I Was Leading. I Was Still Leading With Six Holes To Play.

None Of My 22 Grandchildren Have Genetics Played. Three Of My Four Boys Were Golf Pros, But I Think They All Sort Of Said, "you Know, I'm Not Going To Push" With Their Children. I Was The Same With My Kids. I Said, "you Know, If They Want To Play Golf, That's Fine, But I'm Not Going To Push Them."

It Takes Hundreds Of Good Golf Shots To Gain Confidence, But Only One Bad One To Lose It.

There's A Guy Who Won't Be In Contention. There's Another One I Don't Have To Worry About.

Such Is Putting! 2% Technique, 98% Inspiration Or Confidence Or Touch...the Only Thing Great Putters Have In Common Is Touch And That Is The Critical Ingredient...none Of Them Found It Through Mechanizing A Stroke, Nor Do I Believe They Could Maintain It That Way.
