Tomorrow will be big water. We are closer to the lead after the first day than I was last year, so we are not unhappy to be where we are.

I don't think they thought that would ever happen.

It was a classic race. We were pushing really hard. Someone was going to make a mistake, and it just happened to be me.

I can't recall a day this year or last when I did not hear the name of Babe Ruth.

To this day, I don't know how he withstood the things he did without lashing back. I've been through a lot in my time, and I consider myself to be a patient man, but I know I couldn't have done what Jackie did. I don't think anybody else could have done it. Somehow, though, Jackie had the strength to suppress his instincts, to sacrifice his pride for his people.

Our goal was to put one person into the second day (finals) to legitimize the tournament.
