Q. What was it like making the winning putt for your team, country, everything?
CHRIS DiMARCO: I don't know how to explain it. I just know that my caddie said before I hit my putt, he said, "It's the moment you've been waiting for your whole life, so go ahead and do it." I did. I did it for 13 other guys, counting Jeff Sluman and Mr. Nicklaus, it's unbelievable. We need this Cup, we need we really did. People were getting down on us, saying that we don't care, and we care. This is a big wig week.
Q. Is it like winning a major or better?
CHRIS DiMARCO: I'll tell you how that feels when I get there.
Q. Captain Nicklaus said to me he wanted no other player but you to have that putt to win the Cup.
CHRIS DiMARCO: Really? Oh, geez. I tell what you, I hit a really good putt on 17, and I just told myself, just take it back far enough and stroke it through and just get to the hole and I did.
Q. Talk a little bit about Appleby; he really played you tough today.
CHRIS DiMARCO: He is a terrific putter. We birdied, between us, I think we had four or five birdies on the last seven holes between us. It was a lot of great golf.
Q. How special was it playing for Captain Nicklaus?
CHRIS DiMARCO: Just to be on the team with the greatest player in the world as your captain is the greatest honor in the world, and to be able to make that putt is the greatest feeling in the world. I don't know if I can say it any better than that.
