Chris DiMarco Guys Quotations

I did it for 13 other guys counting (Jeff) Sluman and Mr. Nicklaus -- let alone the whole country. It's unbelievable. We needed this Cup, we needed it. We really did. When people get down on us and say we don't care, I can tell you one thing, we care.

I saw enough of that last year, trust me. Have you heard the motto, 'These guys are good?' There it is.

What can you say when the greatest player in the world puts his trust in you like that? I don't know how to explain it. I just know that my caddie said before I hit my putt, that 'It's the moment you've been waiting for your whole life, so go ahead and do it.' I did it for 13 other guys and Mr. Nicklaus. It's unbelievable.

That's why you see a lot of diversity of winners here. It's letting guys have a lot of chances.

There's probably a half-dozen to a dozen guys who usually don't play the week before a major who are playing this week because of where it is. It's a great test for next week.

The one thing he has that nobody else has -- maybe Nicklaus had this a little bit, too -- is the uncanny ability to win by whatever he needs to win by. If nobody is doing anything, then he won't do anything. He'll just kind of plug along. But if guys are making birdies, then he'll try to make birdies. That's what's amazing about him. If he needs 73 to win, he'll shoot 73. If somebody shoots 64, he'll shoot 65 to win by a shot.

I like my chances, because I know how competitive I am. I love match play. It's going to be hard to play somebody as competitive as me. There might be guys better than me, but as far as as never giving up and always fighting and clawing, I don't think too many guys have that.

If you can usually find a way to finish as the low man among the guys living in Orlando, ... you're going to have a pretty good career.
