I don't think any of us ever thought we'd be getting the attention we do now, ... You look at my dad, he was maybe the greatest teacher ever, and he never got this notoriety. It just shows you how much golf has taken off and the game has changed.

The reason I stand before you today the man I am is because of my brother. A lot has been written about what a great teacher Dick was. He was my teacher. He was more than a brother. He was more than a friend. He was a mentor.

Darren Clarke has an 8-wood in his bag because of the availability of being able to get to the green out of the rough when, normally, you couldn't. I think when you see rough as severe as it is here, instead of having to take a wedge and hit it out, you can take a wood and have a chance to get it on the green. To me, that is a player putting another club in his hand trying to take advantage of the situation.
