Which may not be something he said at all because I can't find it in the google and if it's not in the google, it didn't happen.

I can still "feel" the sights and sounds of Jerry Pate's "shot heard round the world" on the 18th in the 1976 U S Open in Atlanta. It was a 5 iron hit 200 yards over a lake, hit off a side hill lie, that cleared the water by 10 feet and landed 5 feet from the hole. We had been following Nicklaus most of the day, but the last two holes on Sunday were Jerry Pate's miracle. I was standing 20 feet from Pate when he hit it. The cheering was deafening for 5 minutes as he walked up to the green. He putted out and celebrated by jumping into the Lake, but after all he was from Alabama.traditionalguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706120413005530014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-60905791036145328812010-07-08T19:52:54.783-05:002010-07-08T19:52:54.783-05:00Was about to ask if Ann had a job, then remembered...Was about to ask if Ann had a job, then remembered it's July 8.Known Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029003649395214104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-73341437512298062032010-07-08T19:47:22.854-05:002010-07-08T19:47:22.854-05:00Noooooooonan!
