"Ben Hogan was not really a big hitter.……" — Jack Nicklaus

"Ben Hogan was not really a big hitter. He was long enough. But Ben Hogan today? Ben Hogan today could not compete at Augusta because he did not have the massive length to compete against the long hitters. Power was always an issue at Augusta, but never so dominant that you couldn't play it."

— Jack Nicklaus
