Tales from the Ranks

« What was your first memory of Arnie’s Army? | Main | Were there ever any close calls where you didn’t play? »

How hard was that to just say, my last Masters?

Q: How hard was that to just say, my last Masters?

AP: Well it’s not easy. When you think about it, after this year, that will have been 50. And, of course, there’s all kinds of reasons why that should be the end. I hope to come back and be here at the Masters.

My game, you know, I suppose that if I made the cut this year.

You know, lightening hasn’t struck lately, and I’m not sure that it’s going to this year.

But I hit the ball pretty good today. Didn’t play particularly well, but I was encouraged; I reached all of the fairways off the tee.

I even made a few pars. So the next Thursday and Friday will be fun for me. I suppose it’s a bittersweet type situation. I’m going to miss coming and playing in the Masters, as I have for 50 years. You do anything that long, it’s like getting married. You get married and have a great time and then things go, sort of cool down, and you start it up again. Who knows?

It’s been great. It’s been a 50 great years, and I don’t think that I think that that’s enough. I think that’s it.
