But the guy who was second in this year's Masters made more money in one tournament than I made in my lifetime. I think I made $ 743,000 in my career on the regular tour, i think about that putt so much it's unbelievable but I'm not complaining about anything. Life's been good to me and I've been blessed.

Hagen said that no-one remembers who finished second. But they still ask me if I ever think about that putt I missed to win the 1970 Open at St. Andrews. I tell them that some times it doesn't cross my mind for a full five minutes.

I thought in my mind that I had already won it but you shouldn't really do that, i walked up to my ball, looked down at the line and saw what I thought was a pebble. I bent over to get it but it wasn't a pebble, it was just where the sun had burned the grass.

That was probably the most expensive putt that'll ever be missed, i'd already missed out on the U.S. Open by a stroke, the British Open by a stroke, the U.S. PGA Championship by a stroke earlier in my career.
