Harry Vardon:"[to Lord Northcliff] Let me tell you something: I came here to win a trophy. ⋯and on the face of it, Ted Ray or I should carry it off. Not for you; not for England; but for sheer bloody pride at being the best, that's why we do this."
[⋯]:"⋯and if Mr. Ouimet wins tomorrow, it's because he's the best, because of who he is. Not who his father was; not how much money he's got; because of who he bloody is! ⋯and I'll thank you to remember that; ⋯and I'll thank you to show the respect a gentleman gives as a matter of course."
