THE PARTNER
Craig Parry
"Well, well, well, I'll tell you one thing: Jean Van de Velde is probably the unluckiest golfer to ever walk the planet. That's what I was thinking watching that final hole.
"His ball was playing into the wind and into the rain, and it was extremely difficult, and you can't pick that up in the telecast — how much the ball was playing into the breeze. After his tee shot I still thought he was going to win it. But no! It just seemed to get worse and worse for him. If he had his time over, I'm sure he would have played it differently. But jeez, yeah, just probably the unluckiest golfer on the planet; if it had dropped anywhere in the grandstand, he'd have had a free drop.
"We didn't talk afterward — I just wished him luck in the playoff."
