On match play at The Presidents Cup
Peter Jacobsen (@JakeTrout) – “That’s what these matches are all about – momentum, emotion and momentum.”
On Tiger Woods
Johnny Miller – “He’s playing really good golf right now. When he likes a course, he just kills it.”
On morning playing conditions at Muirfield Village
Jacobsen – “These greens are so soft, these guys are just throwing darts.”
Commenting on Ernie Els seemingly more comfortable attempting longer putts
Gary Koch – “As we age, the short putts seem to get tougher.”
On Brendon de Jonge
Dan Hicks (@DanHicksNBC) – “He just hasn’t been able to get it done on the PGA TOUR, but he looks like a guy who’s headed for a Hall-of-Fame career out here this week at The Presidents Cup.”
On Jason Day
Jacobsen – “You say this guy’s ready to win majors? I agree.”
On Phil Mickelson’s close tee shot on the 12th hole
Miller – “That was just what the doctor ordered – a left-handed draw.”
On Phil Mickelson
Miller – “He’s kept work ethic and the love for the game and the enthusiasm, and with his talent, Phil’s just had a heck of a career. I think he’s going to play well for the next several years. He’s got so much game around the greens he doesn’t have to pay the price for bad shots that much.”
On the 12th green’s rear bunker
Miller – “That’s one of the best designed features on the whole golf course.”
On 9th hole
Miller – “This 9th hole has been very kind the Americans. They’ve just killed this hole!”

Koch – “He really has not only taken Jordan Spieth under his wing. He’s carried him on his back.”
On Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley as match-play partners
Miller – “The way they play, they almost like to show off to each other.”
On Matt Kuchar’s popularity at Muirfield Village
Mark Rolfing (@MarkGolfer50) – “A couple of years ago, it would have been hard to imagine that Matt Kuchar would draw as much of a response from the crowd as Tiger Woods, but he definitely does out here.”
