The ast word

-

This is not as much trash talk as it is p ain razor wit. In the 1972 World Match P ay at Wentworth, Lee Trevino was drawn against Tony Jacklin. Jacklin wasn’t in the mood for Trevino’s famous verbal stream of quips. He said, “Lee, I really don’t feel like talking today, if that’s okay, so I’m probably not going to say much.”

In a f ash, Trevino replied: “Hey, Tone, you don’t need to talk, just listen.”

There was no stopping Trevino, and Jacklin couldn’t find the answer that day either, losing at the ast hole.
