All but Dave on the end peg struggled for anything other than really small roach - four or five to the ounce - until the last half-hour. Then most of the field began to sample the quality roach Dave had been catching for most of the match.

The Dave Clark Five had more appearances on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' than The Beatles.

Even when you're four up you are never really comfortable. He wins the eighth and the ninth to peg me back to two up and suddenly, bingo, it's a different ball game. But I did okay. There are important Ryder Cup and World points on offer here this week and after missing the last two cuts in Europe, it was important I won.

We had seven seniors, including five who were four-year players, and had lost only two key skaters from the year before.

We used to get on planes, and they'd ask who we were, and we'd say, 'The Dave Brubeck Quartet', and they'd say, 'Who?' In later years they'd say, 'Oh', which amounts to the same thing.

I don't why we struggled offensively. Maybe we were a little rusty. We hadn't played in five days, and at this point in the year, we're not used to not playing for five days.
