She played OK at the ANA, but the last few months certainly haven’t been to anybody’s liking.” – Leadbetter, Michelle Wie’s coach, on his pupil’s latest struggles.

David Toms
“I’m hoping it’s a little more low key. It’s pretty businesslike out here.

I’m out here by myself with my caddie, and that’s how I’ve always liked it.” – Toms, 49, who was in the mix at the Zurich Classic, on his eventual transition to the Champions Tour.
