Gary Player Decides It's Time Now That He's Sure Arnold Won't Be Coming Back For Another Appearance
/The 73-year old is bowing out of the Masters with the most all-time appearances, and he's leaving with some strong material. From Steve Elling's story:
"I'm hitting it so short off the tee, I can hear the ball land," Player cracked.
And...
"I stood on the tee last year when I was waiting to play and there was a bit of a hold up," he said. "I thought, 'Damn it all, most of my friends at 72 are dead and I'm playing at the Masters?' Most guys at my age, 73, have not seen their knees, never mind their private parts, for seven years."
Amazingly, he made the cut 11 years ago at the age of 62.
