I would say that it's quadruple what I've had when I've won major championships in the past. I've gotten faxes and phone calls from all over the world. It's been overwhelming. It's really changed my opinion of humanity.
Play the shot you've got the best chance of playing well.
Happiness is a long walk with a putter.
Aptitude starts with attitude.
I am a winner. I just didn't win today.
Of course, I'm disappointed. Of all the ones I've let get away, this was the worst. You play poorly and you pay the price. That's all there is to it. My putting was out of sync, my rhythm was out. That's all I can say. I just didn't get the job done. But I'll wake up tomorrow morning and, hopefully, I'll still be breathing.
I got to know the lines on the golf course. You know where you're hitting the ball, you know where the trouble is, trying to keep it away from it. So I'm starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with it and hopefully I can keep it going the next couple of days.
I didn't make any mistakes today, kept the ball in play, hit a lot of greens and probably the only flaw on my whole day was I didn't make the putts that I thought I would.
If I had won today and all those other championships, my life might be totally different, but I didn't win. It's not going to affect my life. I am upset inside, but I'm not going to run around and be like a Dennis Rodman and head-butt an official.
If I play more golf and feel competitive, it's going to be on the regular tour. I don't see myself adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.
I feel for Ernie. He knows what he needs. But he's got to slow down, because this running all around the world has caught up to him. Not his golf game, it's just his head. It tires you out. It's just tough.
If we run again this year, we will run in the Breeders' Cup Classic. We had intentions of either giving him time off or run in the Classic. We will look at the pace scenario before deciding on the classic. We'll see how Lava Man does and whether or not he goes on to the Breeders' Cup. If Lava Man does not go, we will probably go to the Classic.
