00:00Very emotional, you can tell already my voice is breaking a bit,
00:05just realizing it's going to be my last competitive Masters
00:11after, you know, four decades.
00:15It's going to be bittersweet.
00:17I think I knew it was time to call it quits as a player.
00:22The course is just getting too long
00:24and I'm getting shorter and shorter and I'm hitting hybrids
00:27where the other kids hit nine irons and eight irons, maybe wedges.
00:31So I knew I wasn't going to be in contention anymore.
00:36And, you know, a few years back I asked the chairman of the club,
00:41is there a time limit?
00:43You know, is there like, do we age out when we're 60 or what is it?
00:48And he said, no, you will know when it's time to quit.
00:53It's totally up to you.
00:55And it is time to quit.
