2016
Olympic gold medalist
“That felt better than anything I’ve ever won. It was the best tournament I’ve ever done. Hopefully we’ve shown Brazil what golf is about. I’m glad it was close. Not for my nerves, for golf.” — Justin Rose after winning the gold medal at the Rio Olympics.

My personal favorite?
“I used to hear cheers go up from the crowd around Palmer, and I never knew whether he’d made a birdie or just hitched up his pants.” — Lee Trevino.
Ryder Cup
