We go a day at a time. We don't know how long we'll be at Arnold Palmer.

[In a way, Arnold Palmer discov-ered Els, and in another way, Ernie found the other four members of the Big Five. Playing in his first American major, the 1992 PGA Championship, Els drew Palmer for the only two rounds either of them played.] He was 62, ... I remember the handshake he gave me on the first tee. It was a big deal for me, a little bit too big. I never saw a gallery like that. It was my introduction to everything. I don't know why they put me with Arnold Palmer. I guess I would have had a better chance if I'd played with Greg Kraft. But I'm glad they did.

In fact this was first told to me by Arnold Palmer a few years back. He said that that's one of the biggest problems, that we need to tighten down on the grooves because it's too easy to get out of the rough, especially for the best players.

It is overwhelming, all our prayers have been answered. We hope to bring him home soon.

We're so thankful that we've been able to have what's a speedy recovery.

[Orlando is the center of the golfing globe. Arnold Palmer found a personal hideaway in 1969, purchasing the site of this week's Bay Hill Invitational. Ever since, the King has seen his adopted hometown become to golf what Hollywood is to the movie biz, and he can hardly believe the profusion of pros now residing around him.] Everybody sees what I saw, ... There were always a lot of pluses. Now it's the hottest place on earth.
