I’m going to leave y’all with one thought. I’m a big believer in fate. I have a good feeling about this.

BEN CRENSHAWThis is happening all over the world. It’s not just this golf course. Hopefully, if it stays dry, it will let a few more people in (contention). If it gets wet, though, there’s only a few people where it’s attainable.
BEN CRENSHAWGolf is the hardest game in the world. There is no way you can ever get it. Just when you think you do, the game jumps up and puts you in your place.
BEN CRENSHAWI have felt terribly from the beginning when I saw the problems and recognized that they would be ongoing. We were hired to put back the contours of the greens as closely as possible to George Thomas’s designs and were real proud of what we did. It’s a sad situation now.
BEN CRENSHAWI know most players do, but I always keep both eyes opened. I still do it. I see two shafts, the real one and the transparent one. I look for what’s on the inside edge of the transparent one
BEN CRENSHAWAs a golfer, you feel like you’re perpetually on the rack [in foursomes]. Mentally, it’s very difficult.
BEN CRENSHAWI was horrified. Absolutely heart sick. All I could think of was that after 23 years together, I’d lost my faithful ally. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t get the loss out of my mind. It was like discovering that someone in my family had died.
BEN CRENSHAWI enjoy Augusta. I enjoy its challenges. There’s no other golf course like this anywhere. Its greens and its challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough. So the greens are fun to play in sort of a morbid way
BEN CRENSHAWI had a 15th club in my bag.
BEN CRENSHAWI feel like I’ve won the tournament.
BEN CRENSHAWIt’s emotional for every champion who decides to step down, it’s a tough decision. It’s probably easier for some, like me. But I’m just going to try to take it in stride. It’s part of life.
BEN CRENSHAWThe reason the Road Hole at St. Andrews is the most difficult par 4 in the world is that it was designed as a par 6.
BEN CRENSHAWI don’t have any big secret about putting. Just hit at it. It’s either going to miss or go in.
BEN CRENSHAWA good golf course makes you want to play so badly that you hardly have the time to change your shoes.
BEN CRENSHAWBut, if you miss (the supposedly easy pin) by just a little bit, you’re looking at the next putt from 30 feet. The ball just rolls away.
BEN CRENSHAWThe game embarrasses you until you feel inadequate.
