Coach Simpson did that when I played and it worked out pretty well, so I'm carrying on the tradition.

Mark (Simpson) would have loved this tournament, because this separates the men from the boys. It was the perfect example of college kids playing a course they shouldn't have way too aggressive, and it gives you a true test of where you're at. The course next week (Southern Hills) is a little harder than this one, so it was the perfect tune-up. I just wish we could have played better; while many other teams are saying that too, we certainly know we could have.

They both played extremely solid, very consistent in all aspects of their games. If we can get a little run going for Derek or just a few more putts to fall for Ed, they are both on the verge of just busting out. I just love the consistency of how both are playing under par virtually every round. Both only had a couple of mistakes that kept them from scoring lower.

I try and teach the game just as coach Simpson did. We use his techniques every single day. Many of our players single out his one-liners, so it's easy to see that he's always on our minds.

Ryan is hitting the ball extremely well right now. As a team, we're playing pretty well too. It's been a different kind of year for us.

Do you trust in your fellow citizens, in a sense that whatever they will have in additional tools they will use in balance more to the good or more to the bad? If you think they will use it more to the bad, you shouldn't do science, you know.
