Mark Hensby Quotes (16 Quotes)

Have a nice time at the British.

He just told me, go out and relax, you can't force it out here. People say not to fire at flags but there are some, if you feel good, go ahead and fire at them. So that was good advice.

After that, I don't have any time for them. And you can write that.

I kind of took advantage of it. Then I made some nice putts at the right time and I just didn't waver.

When Tiger is on, he's impossible to beat, ... People are scared to say it, but it's true.

The greens were so firm Monday and Tuesday that I was dreading it, ... The fairways were a lot firmer then, so you hit shorter shots in. I hit 6-iron into 17 today. In the practice round, I hit a gap wedge. That's a big difference. The greens were softer, but the course played so much longer. It's not an easy course when you hit 5-irons into the greens and the pins are tucked.

I wasn't hitting the ball very well and he came over for 35 minutes and gave me a hand, ... He's a generous person, he really is. He's helped me and always been very cordial. It's fun to be around a person who's had so much success but he's so laid back. He's obviously a champion golfer. I think some people just take him the wrong way. He's fun to play with and you can learn a lot from playing with a guy like that.

It wasn't that big a deal, ... I've slept on the clubhouse roof back home in Australia so I could get out early before the members.

Retief is playing great now and everybody knows it. If I play well I'll give him a match, but if not, I won't have a chance. He's not going to fold up,

It's just a thrill to play here, ... As an Australian, this is the biggest event to watch for us and the hardest to get into. You dream of playing this event I guess, because no Australian has ever won it. Greg Norman obviously had so many close calls here. Plus, we get to watch it early in the morning in Australia before we go to work. That might have something to do with it. Plus, you get a green jacket if you win and Australia's colors are green and gold.

It's hard to have expectations on such a demanding golf course.

The top five players in the world will be shooting it out. That's what everybody wants to see, no doubt.
