His best player, Tiger Woods, walked the fairway with a bag of ice pressed against his back. What Nicklaus figured would be his best tandem was getting hammered again. And as he stood on the ninth tee and gazed at the scoreboard, the Americans were ahead in only one of the six matches. When that last group went through, if you gave me 3-3, I would have given you 10-1 odds, ... I would have been very, very pleased. As the afternoon went on, I was kind of disappointed it ended up 3-3.
More Quotes from Jack Nicklaus:
I don't know why in the world they cared about winning one for an old man, ... They needed to win one for themselves. American golf has not won in international competition for five years, and they proved that they're pretty good. . . . If I'm never involved in the game of golf again, it's not a bad way to end it. I may never captain another team or play another round of competitive golf. This is pretty special.Jack Nicklaus

So golf is trying to get used to the fact that the man who will rule the game for the next 20 years shaves twice a week and has been drinking legally for almost three months now. He's more dominant over the guys he's playing against than I ever was over the ones I played against, ... He's so long, he reduces the course to nothing. Absolutely nothing.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.
