The one-liners were flying at the Players Championship this past weekend. Sergio Garcia, however, may have won not only the Players, but also the award for the best quote:
“First of all,” Garcia said, “I want to thank Tiger for not being here. That always makes things a little bit easier.”
Runner Up, Paul Goydos:
Q. Two things; one on golf, one on non-golf. Did this all start at the end of 2006? In other words, did your game turn around when you won down in Florida, where all of a sudden you started playing well? And what school did you actually teach at?
PAUL GOYDOS: I think I’m a better player than I’ve ever been. That said, so is everybody else who plays out here (laughter), which is the problem.

According to Hoyle, I’ll bet the actual “Golf One Liner of The Century” will actually be a one liner, rather than your examples. Call me zany, but, you know….
Forensic examination may reveal them to be “two liners”, or even “three liners”. That said, I have no formal qualifications in “one liner” definition. Suffice to say I have my own opinion over at:

That said…. Mr Goydos gave an outstanding few quotes after losing (and thank God he lost – see link above). All genuine, if weird, one liners, delivered one after the other. Brilliant! What a quote machine! What a good guy! What a loser!
“No defense.”
“I couldn’t tackle the little guy.”
“He’s probably not little; that’s probably not a fair thing.”
“He could probably take me pretty easily.”
“But you can’t kneecap him”
Rant on! Google “expectarant” for more mayhem….
