Stephen Ames Quotations

I don't think I have to worry about winning the fans over at this stage. I'm not going to take anything away from Michael. He's won a Masters.

I think I get to relax a little bit more now. It's a player's goal to either win majors or play in majors. I'm going to enjoy it.

It felt like a walk in the park, the way I hit the ball.

We worked on a few things that we've been working on from the British Open onwards with the swing, ... What we've done from there is incorporate a little bit more shot-making, picturing shots a little bit more, which I had completely gone off of for part of this year.

You don't know in match play what can happen. He might have an off day. He might not recover from his cold. You don't know. Match play is such an individual game.

I'm proud to be part of the Making the Connection program. My father has a family history of high cholesterol and because of this and my age I also need to monitor my cholesterol closely. I understand how important it is that we take the steps to keep our cholesterol under control, and I want to encourage other Canadians to do the same to protect their heart health.

The gallery was wonderful. I was fortunate to be the only Canadian in the group (of 16) left.

Having the opportunity to birdie the last three holes like I did today was good. And maybe a couple of fortunate times, like 18, a little scare on the 3-wood (drive), it ended up being way up the fairway and only a 6-iron in. It was fortunate and the nature of the game.

It's hard to focus and play golf. It's next to impossible. When I was playing the British Open last year, I'm standing over every shot going, 'What am I doing with this golf ball?' I was in a distant zone.

You can get it going and knock out your opponent, or it can go the opposite way.
