Mark Calcavecchia Great Quotations

I was so nervous out there in the fairway. I hit a great shot and the wind came my way at the right time.

Today I felt good. Actually, starting out I almost felt too relaxed. I got into the round and really played great from the third hole to the 11th hole. I played okay on the back, but birdied the last hole which was nice. Two real good ones there.

Admit no failings. Think positive. Stay in the present. Keep telling yourself: I'm a great player.

There's a long ways to go. JJ played a great round and I saw what he was doing out there. You know you've got to make birdies. It really doesn't change your thinking any.

I needed to shoot a good score today, and I did, ... I played well, got a great break on one hole. I snap-hooked a drive on the par- five seventh into the hazard. It was dead left. It hit a tree and popped out to the front edge of the fairway about 100 yards off the tee. I laid up with a three-iron and hit a sand-wedge about three feet and made a four. It should have been a six or who knows what.

He always says he won't play if he's not competitive, and that's the way he is. It would be great for golf, and this tournament, if he made the cut and had a good tournament.
