Fifty years since the double eagle
I got to watch Gene Sarazen and Byron Nelson tee off on that first hole, Sam Snead . It was just incredible. To be part of that and to see how it's changed over the years, and to have won it. I got lucky. I won my first professional event here. It was nice to be able to do that and I can basically come back here basically for my entire lifetime.
