I gave him one chance to get back in and he took it. I managed to weasel my way out of it.
The Independent (Tim Glover)

If I'd been up against somebody else I would probably have won. I'll go to Tenerife and other places he doesn't like. Unfortunately he plays in The Open. He doesn't give anything away.
The Independent (Tim Glover)

I shoot 66 and I still lose. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. It was a good effort. Second again.
