Control is the main thing, and the tee shot is the most important shot in golf. You’ve got to hit the fairway before you have a good chance of putting the ball close to the pin. You can be the greatest iron player in the world, but if you’re in the boondocks it won’t do you any good.
I have always felt and said that a man who can be a champion in one era could be a champion in any other era because he has what it takes to reach the top.
