A little visit to Jack's house for a chat in 1997. He finished T6 at the '98 Masters the next spring at age 58. I stayed after and he showed me pictures and trophies. As I looked at one pic from the '80 US Open he said, "182." I said "What"? He said, "That's what I weighed." Funny how we all see ourselves the same way. Here he is clinching the win in joy and he's looking at his belly.
