It reminds me of home and it's just a great holiday for me, the people are nice and pleasant, they always talk to me and the golf course is absolutely unbelievable. – Doug Sanders	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
But the guy who was second in this year's Masters made more money in one tournament than I made in my lifetime. I think I made $ 743,000 in my career on the regular tour, i think about that putt so much it's unbelievable but I'm not complaining about anything. Life's been good to me and I've been blessed. – Doug Sanders	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I thought in my mind that I had already won it but you shouldn't really do that, i walked up to my ball, looked down at the line and saw what I thought was a pebble. I bent over to get it but it wasn't a pebble, it was just where the sun had burned the grass. – Doug Sanders	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
That was probably the most expensive putt that'll ever be missed, i'd already missed out on the U.S. Open by a stroke, the British Open by a stroke, the U.S. PGA Championship by a stroke earlier in my career. – Doug Sanders	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I played well, I gave Australian Mark Hensby a lot of chances, i hit a couple of wayward ones, but I haven't played in a tournament in quite some time. You get a little nervy in the middle, but then I kind of settled down and hit some good shots. – Australian Mark Hensby	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I was pretty frustrated, i three-putted 16 and 17, and then they're going to call play. Why did we even start in the first place? Everyone is going to play in difficult conditions. With links golf, you get different draws and that's the nature of the game. What I don't like is when they make a bad decision to start in the first place. – Brendon Todd	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
We certainly can't afford to be complacent and we must continue to test fully. – Peter Dawson	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
The athletes...will have to accept the Olympic standards during the next year prior to the Games and of course during the Games the first five will be tested on top of the random-testing and the targeted-testing during the Olympic period, i can only encourage the PGA Tour to follow and finally accept the WADA code and to be compliant with this so you have a harmonized anti-doping regime there for all the golf players and you have a ... level playing field for all golfers. – Thomas Bach	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
It's up there, i haven't played too many doubles matches at 2-0 down when the pressure's on. – Lleyton Hewitt	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
It's been a year of many ups and downs. To come here and actually swim a decent time, I think was what our goal was, we're gonna go back to work for the world championships. But man, it feels good to win a medal. – Ryan Cochrane	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
The medical commission is, in a certain way, surprised to have so many cases at the beginning of the Games, but the numbers will (ultimately) be more or less the same that we have at every Games, but we are working here under the new regulation of WADA so the controls are much harder than the controls that we had (for the 2011 Pan Ams in) Guadalajara. – Eduardo De Rose	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I feel great and I'm in a good spot, i'll get a good night's rest and get back out here tomorrow. – Dustin Johnson	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I said yesterday it could be Armageddon today and it was this morning, luckily we didn't have to play in the rain. The wind we had was a good wind for St Andrews, a 20 to 30-yard wind. It was playable, you can certainly hit golf shots and it wasn't too ridiculous. – Englishman Willett	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I wasn't thinking about cuts or finishes or anything, I just tried to go out and put a number in my head and play, because once you start thinking about making the cut, it's very easy to drop shots, because you have them to play with if you are a few shots inside. So I knew what scores I wanted to make on every hole, and that's just kind of how I tried to go about it. – Paul Dunne	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
I had about a 20-footer for birdie on 15 and there's a scoreboard there and I knew if I made that I'd get on the first page of the leaderboard, it didn't make me nervous, it just kind of made me excited. – Paul Dunne	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
It'll be a new experience, but I'm not 100 percent sure how I'll handle it, hopefully I'll just take it like second nature, but you never know. – Paul Dunne	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Good thing is we had a down breeze, otherwise, we would still be out there. Very interesting this morning. – Jaco Van Zyl	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Unfortunately, the town of St. Andrews drained onto the first fairway, so they really couldn't go. – Padraig Harrington of that Saturday	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Basically I forgot they changed the rule that ... if the ball moves while you're putter is down and it's not caused by you, basically caused by the wind, it's not a penalty, i went from making a pretty soft 5 to a really mad 6 to a felt-like-a-birdie 5 again. – Steven Bowditch	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
I watched the second hole flood in seven minutes. – Scotland Steve Williams	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Most of the girls can't stay with me in training, it just has to be guys. – Tirunesh Dibaba	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Everything was clicking today, a great warmup showed I can do something, I think I can throw even further. – American Joe Kovacs	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I am very happy. – Genzebe Dibaba	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I feel like I've been really close to lifting this trophy, i'd be very disappointed if I never did it in my career when I got so close. – Scotland Adam Scott	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
