Tom Kite quotes:

When I woke up Sunday morning at the Open and stepped outside and felt the wind and rain in my face, I knew I had an excellent chance to win if I just took my time and trusted myself.

A lot of the bunkering is designed more to save you than it is to penalize you.

It is a very positive event, being nervous. It allows you to do great things.

The only thing that relieves pressure is preparation.

We went around and looked and talked to a lot of foundations with those charities and decided upon the Childrens Hospital. They had a golf tournament at the time, but it was a small event that didnt raise a significant amount of money.
