From the papers
The Independent (AP)
7 November 1999
When I didn't get my clubs Wednesday night, I told myself as long as I didn't let it bother me, it would be okay.

To win once is one thing, but to do it again proves to myself that this could be a regular thing.
The Independent (AP)
7 November 1999
When I got to nine-under after 11 holes, I thought there was a chance. I was thinking maybe four more birdies would do it. But we see now even that wouldn't have been enough.
