More Quotes from Tom Watson:
When I left Bruce here last year, he was crying in the parking lot, ... He thought that was going to be his last Masters. Of course, it was. The last time he caddied for me was at the UBS Warburg Cup on Sea Island last fall. On Sunday, we went to the bar and had a beer together, knowing that might have been the last time, too, which it was.Tom Watson
It's an incredible format. The First Tee is a wonderful program that teaches kids the life skills needed in today's world. The kids here this week have demonstrated they have those skills. And I can't think of a better reward than playing Pebble Beach with all of us this week.

I admire Jack for many things, but especially for the way he always treated our relationship. Jack was never mean in any sense of the word -- there was no meanness in him. So at St. Andrews, coming up the last hole with him, it all hit me the kind of man he is, the battles we had, and especially, that this was the end. . . . That was very emotional.
