Jerry Kelly Quotations

I was tempted to use my 3-iron again after I three-putted two straight greens,

I had probably six putts like that I missed. I shot 7 under but I had five putts within six to eight feet and didn't go in. It was one of those rounds where I could have gotten a lot more out of it. But it was still a good round.

He runs on a regular basis, I truly don't know what his capabilities are.

He seemed like a wonderful guy. It's impossible to explain something like this and what may have gone wrong for him.

Just play well and the scores will come. I showed that today.

I sat on the 18th and watched it all unfold. To see a true gentleman like that and what he's done for the game, it did move me quite a bit. Those are the types of feelings I want to take with me. I don't want to be a miserable, old, crusty man. I want to know I had a good career out there.

I was thinking to myself yesterday, 'You know, I'm 3-over and I still love the golf course,'

Winning here would be that much more special, but a win is a win. I don?t care where it is.

You get a course like this where it's really long for a guy like me. Phil can shoot at a lot of pins, but there's not that many times out there I have less than a 7-iron. . . . What I don't want to do is chase long drives, but I'm mature enough that I stopped doing that a long time ago.

We should have a good crowd. It'll be fun.

Boston's for the bombers. I'm a short hitter.

I've been working on the same things for the last seven, eight years. I'm just now getting a solid feel for what I'm doing out there. It's a matter of trusting what I'm doing.

The bottom line is I have to win ... it's been three years.

Azalea. If it's not the best par 5 in the world, it's right up there.

This is definitely one of the tournaments that I wasn't happy it became an opposite event. I'm really happy the Match Play is going to be here so we can come back.

There's always positives when you shoot 65 to finish second. It's just that the positives hurt a whole lot more than usual.

There's always positives when you shoot 65 and finish second, just the negatives hurt a little bit more. You know, I had my chances. I had probably six putts like that that I missed. And when I look back and say I shot 7-under, but I literally had five within six, eight feet that didn't go in. So it was one of those rounds where I could have got an awful lot more out of it.

There's always positives when you shoot 65 and finish second. It's just the positives hurt a little bit more. I had all of my chances.

I've just always played a lot in the fall, and it's not like I'm going to take a lot of time off. I get two months off at the end of the season, and that's good enough for me. I guess I play too much, but I'm just going to keep doing that until my body breaks down.

The fall is absolutely important. The top 10 guys can say 'OK, the season is kind of over once the majors are over,' but you have another 200 guys trying to make a living.

I left three (putts) dead in the jar, 2 inches short.

I love this game. I love playing well. I was in total control of my physical and mental side, and I haven't been able to say that at all in the last year and a half. I've had a little bit of a rebirth.

I flew into Lakefront Airport and had to go through one of the hard-hit areas. The guy driving me in lost his house ... everything.

I had my chances. I had probably six putts like that that I missed.

I'm trying not to beat myself up, just stick to my game plan. I missed plenty of shots the last couple of days, but I've accepted them. That's something I haven't done much, and I've really done the last two tournaments. I really hope the mind-set continues.

I don't want to sit at home and watch the Masters. I've been there four times, and that's creative golf at its finest. This place is second.

You come in fresh and rested. The burden and pressure aren't there -- yet. It's a new city and you're excited. You've got a few days to correct whatever ails you or fine-tune whatever you are doing right.
