QUOTE OF THE WEEK

‘I WON’T miss playing in the Masters. When a thing stings, it keeps stinging you. When it gives to you, it keeps on giving. I’ve seen that with Gary Player and with Jack Nicklaus but with me, I’ve got a love-hate relationship with the place. It was almost always like a curse to me. It was not a romantic deal, it was a nightmare for the most part. Time to move on.’

THERE are some players early on in their careers who you think will surely win the green jacket one day ... and when they don’ t? They end up as frustrated as twice runner-up Ernie E ls clearly was when he revealed his torment in the New York Post on Saturday.
