That's the ticket

Quote of the day
"No, we pay 'em. We've got to go. Welcome to 2013. Right back into the swing of things. Most of the caddies, they are used to looping and I know they are coming off a little bit of a break, so it might be a little tougher (for) any of the guys just walking normally. And if we have any rain gear, umbrellas, bags are going to be heavy. There's going to be a lot of guys sleeping well tomorrow night if we make it 36."
- Rickie Fowler, on caddies possibly having to work 36 holes Saturday.
