Open Championship 2013 Blog
Here we round up some of the interesting and unusual things that have been said by interviewers and interviewees in press conferences and on-course interviews here at Muirfield.
Sir Nick Faldo, being asked about his return to the Open Championship at the age of 56:
"I played St Andrews three years ago .... didn't enjoy that."
Sir Nick on what he's looking to achieve this week:
"I'm trying to bust my buns."
Sir Nick, once again, on his chances in the tournament - we're not sure he really knows what's going to happen:
"I'm either going to win by six or be stuck in the hay somewhere." A question to Ernie Els about Phil Mickelson's chances:
Q - "Can you relate to what Phil said ‘It's time to learn how to play links golf?"
Ernie - "It's taken him 22 years I guess." A rather odd question to Ernie about his allegiances:
Q - "On a parochial note, as a Wentworth member, you realise you'll be flying the flag for Surrey this week..."
Ernie - "Erm, thanks. I'll take note of that."
A rather easy question for the "Big Easy":
"Which of your achievements is the greater, winning four Major Championships or winning three...?"
Finally, a rather more difficult question for the South African:
"When it's dry like this, what's the secret to knowing how far the ball goes?"
