Ben Crenshaw Course Quotations

Length is always going to get its due. Playing shorter clubs into these greens makes a huge difference, I can assure you. But, really, no matter how long or short the course plays, you have to deal with these greens. They have been the main defense of this course, and always will be. I hope they never change, because they are fascinatingly complex.

Jim could really get the job done. He could pick a course apart.

I think a super-long course would almost be a little too much.

I've never played this course that well. I've never been able to get at it on this course. This course is always a good test of golf.

Well, I'd love to continue to see (the course) dry. I think a super-long course would almost be a little too much, but I don't know. It's very remote, as I said (after the first round). I don't know where this week is going to lead, but I've had so much fun playing. I've seen some great things happen. That's always nice no matter what you're doing. I'm just going to kind of see where it takes me this week.

There's no other golf course like this, anywhere -- never has been. The greens and the challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough, and you have to manage shots. There's nothing stylized about it all.

In many ways this is a new course for all of us.

The course does drain quickly, but it has to have a lingering effect tomorrow.
