Masters Talk
“At my first Masters, I got the feeling that if I didn’t play well, I wouldn’t go to heaven.”
–Dave Marr
“If the Masters offered no money at all, I would be here trying just as hard.”
–Ben Hogan
“I miss, I miss, I miss, I make.”
–Seve Ballesteros, explaining four-putt green at 16
“I’ve never been to heaven, and thinking back on my life, I probably won’t get a chance to go. I guess winning the Masters is a close as I’m going to get.”
–Fuzzy Zoeller
“I told Hord Hardin I was getting too old to play in the Masters, but he kept saying, Gene, they don’t want to see you play, they just want to see if you’re still alive.”
–Gene Sarazen
“On the 15th hole I started thinking how I’d look in the Green Jacket. The next thing I know, they’re giving it to Charley Coody.”
–Johnny Miller
