From the papers

When you've done well, I think it's very difficult to accept mediocrity and that's how I've been playing this year.
Las Vegas Sun

I never do well in the casinos -- ever. I enjoy it, but I always lose money. This is the first time I've left Las Vegas a winner.
Associated Press (GOLFonline)
22 November 1998
It seemed like there were three or four putts that all lipped out. There's nothing you can do if the putts don't fall.
