"The setup between '86 and now is very, very similar. The tough is extremely thick and heavy out there. The fairways are a little bit wider this year than they were in '86 or any other year to say the least. But obviously the golf course has a lot more length to it. There's a few different angles we have to get adjusted to. So those players who have never played in the early Opens here wouldn't know anything different." -- Greg Norman, who won the Open here in 1986
"You only have to venture out of the fairway nine feet, ten feet, and you might lose your ball. And I think that's an indication not too many drivers are going to be used." -- Norman
"I guess that's the beauty of it. You don't know what's heading your way, and you don't know what the winning score is going to be." -- Henrik Stenson, when asked to predict a winning score
"It would be nice to be above dirt." -- Woods, when asked if he can imagine competing and contending at age 53 in the British Open like Greg Norman did last year at Royal Birkdale
"As far as driving, no, I don't drive. Stevie (Williams) drives. He's used to this side of the road. Unfortunately he drives a little bit quick. His racing mentality kicks in every now and again, loves these turns." -- Woods, who is leaving the driving to caddie Steve Williams
"Ask Robert Karlsson; he played with me." -- Woods, when asked what noises his left knee made last year in the third round of the U.S. Open
"The phone rings a little bit more and just a few more obligations. But nothing drastic; nothing that was unexpected. But it's been fun." -- U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover on his newfound success
"The ones that do are very nice, and the ones that don't are asking the ones that do who that is." -- Glover, who still maintains anonymity at Turnberry
"I got paired with him at AT&T two weeks earlier. He beat my brains in for two days, so I think he's still got me." -- Glover, when asked if he and Woods should be considered on the same level now that he has won a major title
"No, I think the pressure I put on myself to play well in an Open Championship is enough. It's exciting to be the second highest-ranked guy here. It means that ?- it doesn't really mean anything. I mean, it is what it is. You hope you get a little bit of luck with the draw and you've got to play extremely good golf; it's as simple as that." -- Casey on the pressure of performing
"I've seen him play ping-pong, he's not superhuman." -- Stenson, when asked if the media perceives Woods as superhuman
"I'm only going to be carrying one." -- Sergio Garcia, when asked how many drivers he will use this week
"Well, I'm sorry if I offend anybody with saying it or having said it. I won't say it again. I do apologize." -- Englishman Ian Poulter, who was criticized in the media for referring to the Open Championship as the British Open
