I would have to think I I don’t know if you’ve talked to him about it all but tiger had to respect the hell out of you because I mean you gave him everything you got every time like you said you never backed down he didn’t scare you I
Mean to go out there with tiger with a three- shot lead going in the final round and you to shoot 68 to his 71 like probably everyone in the world thought this thing was over going into Sunday and you went out there and said no sir
Not yet yeah no and and you know he he was he’s very respectful but he loves that that’s what he wants he he doesn’t want somebody to cower and go away he wants to be challenged I mean that’s his drug his drug is to be in that situation
And then outperform whoever he’s playing and you know he is a very respectful guy he he respects you for what you can do and you know he is you know he definitely you know when you ever you hear him comment on whether it was the PGA Championship with Bob May or the US
Open with Rocko media he always throws a lot of respect towards us for for challenging him and putting him up to that you know that big fight that’s funny you look at the the three guys that really challenged him like took him to extra holes were were not the longest
Guys the biggest guys I mean they were big under honestly probably big underdogs going against him I mean he could overpower him and all three of you just went toe-to-toe with him until the very end well we all were really good drivers of the golf ball really good
Iron players and really good Putters so he knew he had to be on didn’t matter you know Sunday at Augusta that year I mean he was hitting at 50 60 70 by me all day and I was hitting it closer to the pin every hole so you know he knew
That the game was on that he had to go out and play his you know play some good golf I mean he was working on his golf swing I think he just started working with Hank Haney at the time so you know there were some things going on but um
You know he he he watched me hit it and I mean a couple lipin on the a lip outs on the front nine and I mean it could have been a different story but again you know you’re playing Tiger Woods that Augusta you know he seems to pull out
Some great things there and did you chirp him correct me if I’m wrong did you chirp him a little going from nine green to 10 10t or something along the those lines am I remembering that correctly we we were we were walking down 11 and and I just hit one a little
Closer to him again and I just said are you tired of puttting first yet he just went off you hitting four iron prob he hting wedge yeah that get old I mean but he loves that I mean he loves that kind of stuff he really does you know it’s a
It’s a funny story I mean one of the funny stories was is I was playing that that day we were getting ready to tea off and I was on the Range and just him and I in the range and the gator won a national championship in basketball that
Week on Monday so I took a golf ball and i wrot g go Gators on it and I chipped it down to him and hit a really nice little chip that right kind of right into his bucket there and um he lifted it up took a Sharpie out scratched set
It back down to me and he scribbled out gogators or go and he wrot wrote the Gators so I still have I still have that golf ball he doesn’t sign balls but I have that one
