More Quotes from Jack Nicklaus:
Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's levels of aspiration . . and expectation.Jack Nicklaus
I don't know why in the world they cared about winning one for an old man, ... They needed to win one for themselves. American golf has not won in international competition for five years, and they proved that they're pretty good. . . . If I'm never involved in the game of golf again, it's not a bad way to end it. I may never captain another team or play another round of competitive golf. This is pretty special.

That whole last nine holes wasn't too bad. That was a nice two-hour moment. I think a lot of what it is, there was an old guy out there playing golf who wasn't supposed to compete anymore. And in his own mind, too.
