U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

June 17, 1994

Arnold Palmer

Q. Could you just tell us what you are feeling right now and what it has been like the past couple of days, past week?

ARNOLD PALMER: I think you all know pretty much how I feel. Most of you I have talked to quite a bit over the years and -- I suppose the sun got me a little bit. I got a little tired, I guess and a little emotional coming up 18 and I think it is -- you know, can't get it going. I mean, it is, you know, it is 40 years of fun, work, enjoyment.

Q. You are the king. You not only affected golf, but all of sports throughout the world. Your impact is every place. Can you think of one thing you have done, the thing that you feel that you have had the most fun with?

ARNOLD PALMER: Oh, I think, as I said, many times recently the whole experience, you know, it has been -- I haven't won all that much. I have won a few tournaments. I have won some majors, but the, I suppose, the most important thing is the fact that it has been as good as it has been to me. I think I am a little bit sun whipped and tired, ready to take a little rest. Hopefully, a few more golf tournaments along the way. I think that is about all I have to say. Thank you very much.

(APPLAUSE.)
