“Golf is a wonderful exercise. You can stand on your feet for hours, watching somebody else putt.”
Will Rogers
“I was walking with Mike Weir, and Mike said he was more nervous watching these guys putt than he was putting to win the Masters. I'm glad it was Ernie putting.”
Adam Scott
“He's faltering once in a while. I don't know why. Standing over a 3-foot putt when it counts is a lot different than airing out your driver.”
Pete Mackanin
“I was so nervous I was shaking watching her, ... She had a decent putt and I knew I had to make mine.”
Paula Creamer
“[Paul Casey, who played in front of Mickelson's group with Langer, watched the putt from the scoring trailer.] Bernhard was giving me the line, ... I wished he'd given me a few lines during the round. Phil helped me enormously when I was at Arizona State. Ernie had an unbelievable round of golf but Phil just finished it in style.”
Paul Casey
“I'm sure it was an exciting tournament to watch. I just needed some of those putts on the back nine to go in.”
Jim Furyk
“He looks comfortable over putts and to me, he doesn't take as long to putt as he does full shots. His routine is consistent. He's got a simple-looking stroke, with nice pace and flow, a blend of mechanics and pace. But I always think guys who putt well are more fearless. They don't worry about the three-putt or the bad putt. They don't take that with them.”
