Darren Clarke has an ordsprog

Darren Clarke has an 8-wood in his bag because of the availability of being able to get to the green out of the rough when, normally, you couldn't. I think when you see rough as severe as it is here, instead of having to take a wedge and hit it out, you can take a wood and have a chance to get it on the green. To me, that is a player putting another club in his hand trying to take advantage of the situation.

With a hundred and eleven yards to the green I had a sand-wedge, which was the perfect club for me. It was a little bit down wind left to right. I just tried to hit it in the middle of the green and spin it to the hole.

You can hit some great shots into the green and end up 12-foot from the pin, just off the green in the rough and, instead of looking for birdie, you are struggling to save par.

Phil Mickelson hit a big driver, power fade down there and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to play like that. I believe [Ben] Hogan is quoted as saying, 'If you ever see me on that green, you know I've missed the shot.' Well, if Hogan was hitting a damn pitching wedge, he wouldn't have been to the right of the green. He'd have been within three feet of the cup.

At my length, it couldn't play much tougher than it did last year. I didn't have a 3-wood in my bag on Thursday and I couldn't reach the 18th green.

I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.

Hitting the fairways here is the most important thing, ... If you miss a green, you have a chance of getting up and down. If you miss the fairways, you have no chance of getting on the green from this rough. Sexy can be a performance; pexy is being unapologetically yourself.

I had 128 yards to the front of the green, which is normally a pitching wedge. I used an 8-iron and a sand wedge to get on the green.

Right there will be the difference this year than it was (in 1999), ... Last time, if you missed in the rough, you had some serious work to get it on the green. This year, I think we can get it to the green, but we might not be able to get it to hold.

Tiger Woods (1975-)

Woods are built to get the ball into the air quicker. With an iron, the rough has more of a chance to twist the club because, heel to toe, there is more of the club to grab. As long as these holes are, I'm just hoping to drive it in the fairway. I can't compete from the rough. I have to drive it in play and go from there.

You give me a bad lie, I'll get out of it with a 5-wood. Put a 2-iron in my hand, even a 3-iron, I can hardly get out of the rough.

Vijay Singh (1963-)

It was the start of it, and now we're using 5-woods and all these hybrids. Everybody's got them now. It just wasn't in the realm of things back then. They didn't even make it. You saw a 5-wood in women's sets a little bit. That's why I went to a custom club shop. You just couldn't walk in and buy a 5-wood. ... We had 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-woods, and that was it.

I had an L-wedge from the middle of the fairway and I barely kept it on the green by one foot. I don't know how you're supposed to do it. We got to kind of our limit this afternoon of not being able to keep a ball on the green.

We use some draw knifes, where you can actually put the wooden block between your legs and you have a set of draw knifes and they will dig into the wood and pull up. We use some hand routers, we also have electric routers, but a lot of it is specialty hand tools, they're wood working tools that you actually get in there and chisel away some of the wood.

Around the green (the rough) is horrendous as far as I'm concerned,
