Robert Gamez Quotations

My main goal was to try to start off quick and just hit fairways and greens and basically do what I've been doing,

To come all the way back -- I'm so proud of myself because I've worked so hard. It took me more than two years where I could actually play without pain.

He was scaring me there for a while.

I would've made a double bogey but I double-chipped. The wind caught me on my downswing on the first shot and I went long. The guys behind me hit good shots and came up short. The wind switched that quickly.

(John) Daly has made some higher numbers than me. I didn't think anyone would ever break this record. I didn't think anybody would beat 11.

It has been a long time coming. I've been close a lot over that stretch of time, and I had that car accident in '98 and was sidelined for a few years. To come all the way back and be a champion again, I'm just tickled to death.

It has been a long time, a long time coming. I knew it would happen. I just didn't know when.

It feels great. I have a lot of family here, it's just a great feeling. I hit it great all day. I just kind of hung in and hit some good putts that didn't go in and in the end made a few on the back nine there.

I was really focused today and got off to a good practice session and hit some good shots on the range. I started really quick. I hit it close on two and three and made a great putt on the first hole.

Tiger does it the best. He misses, he doesn't get down and he doesn't think he's going to miss it the next time.

When I got home, it was basically: Change into civilian clothes so you wouldn't be bothered.

We all know there's a storm coming possibly on Saturday, and you never know what's going to happen with that. It's good to get a lead and hold it in case we have to wait around on the rain.

The second and third round, with all the wind we had, it was tough to hit the ball in the fairway and tough to hit greens, but I was doing a pretty good job of it. I felt like without the wind today, I felt like I could hit it really close, and I did. I hit it close a lot. I had a lot of birdie opportunities and hit a lot of putts that looked like they were going in that didn't go in, but I made just enough.

This is a tough sport. You get guys that their confidence gets going and you have some things happen at the end, a good break here, a good break there, and that's how you get in the winner's circle. I feel like this is going to jump-start me. This is like my second career coming up.

It was a lot of fun. I played pretty well. I missed a couple there at the end, but made a couple good putts as well in the middle of the round. I made a couple good par saves that kind of saved my round there.

It was a lot of fun and I played pretty well, ... It's just nice to get off to a good start. It's been a while since I have had a really good start and been up there. It's coming down to the end of the year and every round matters more and more.

It was a lot of fun and I played pretty well,

It's unfortunate that Bob made a 12 but on a day like this, anything can happen there. It was really tough out there. When I made the 11, conditions were perfect.

You try so hard when you come home ... with the momentum I had coming in, I was trying so hard out there, and that probably got in my way a little bit.

It's coming down to the end of the year, and every round matters more and more. Last week, I had it going and lost it, then today I got it going and kept it.

That's a good round, but I have to keep it going. That's been my problem in the past.

I'm doing the things that I need to do to win this thing.

I hit it perfectly right where I wanted to land it. That keeps the round going when you get a shot like that and have something good happen.

I hit a pretty good drive today, and killed a one-iron to get it on the green.

I played great. I missed two greens, 17 and five, and they were both on the fringe. Everything else was close. I never really struggled to make good pars.

I didn't think anybody would break my record - 11 is a pretty big number.

I didn't think about it at all and people didn't ever bring it up. They talked more about the shot I holed out on 18 at Bay Hill than that one. I was one shot off the lead at the time. We were finishing the third round Sunday morning. I hit a good shot that went too far and it bounced over the back. Then I just kept getting the yips from the drop area.

I could have shot 59 today with the way I'm playing, ... It used to be a great golf course, now it's just a good golf course. Davis came in and made it a lot easier, so there have been a lot of low scores out here and you saw that the first day with (Charles Warren) shooting 62.

I chipped in on No. 9. I hit a poor iron shot to the right and chipped it in for birdie. That kind of kept my round going. Stuff like that is nice to keep a round going.
