Chris DiMarco Putt Quotations

Jack's the best, the best of all time, and to make that putt for him is what it's all about, ... We wanted to get a win for him so much. Last night, we had a great, emotional dinner. Everybody got up and talked, and I think everybody said they wanted to go out and win this for Jack. And to do that is unbelievable.

I thought I might whiff, I was so nervous. But I thought about two guys. I thought about Fred Couples and how big a putt he made on 18 to win against Vijay and I thought about captain Nicklaus. That's what our whole goal was this week, to win it for him.

I tell you what, this is unbelievable, ... I was looking for an opportunity to make a putt like that on 18. What can you say when the greatest player in the world has enough trust in you to put you last.

The putt, I thought I might whiff, ... I thought about two things. I thought about Fred Couples making a big putt to win against Vijay on No. 18. And I thought about Captain Nicklaus. Our whole goal was to win for him.

To be able to make that putt is the greatest feeling in the world.

Until you have to putt on these greens, that's what keeps everybody in this tournament ? bottom line. Putting is still the key here.

I knew he had the same exact putt as me because I watched it on the 13th tee. When I saw that, I knew we were going to win. It inspired me.

I don't know how it didn't go in. That was probably the best putt I hit all day, as far as (hitting it) exactly where I wanted to hit it, exactly the speed I wanted to hit it, and it looked like it would break in the right edge. And it never broke.

The lie wasn't bad, it was the stance that was not real good, ... I tried to stay real still and hit a good, solid shot and get right of the hole and give me a putt at it, at least have a chance. And it came out perfect.

I can promise you that's not true. There was a lot of pressure here, I can assure you. That last putt I thought I might whiff, I was that nervous. My caddie told me, 'This is the moment you've been waiting for your whole life, so go ahead and do it'. So I did. We needed this cup. We really did.
