Dave Hill, a former PGA Tour regular from Jackson with a quick tongue and sharp shot-making skills, died Tuesday at the age of 74. He won 13 titles while on Tour, won the Vardon Trophy for the tour's lowest scoring average in 1969 and was runner-up in the U.S. Open at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota the following year. It was then that he made the most renowned of his many comments that stirred controversy on the tour when he responded to a reporter's question about the course after the round he said it "lacked only 80 acres of corn and a few cows to be a good farm" and that architect Robert Trent Jones "had the blueprints upside down."

In 1998, former Citizen Patriot sports writer Chip Mundy launched a feature called "2 1/2 Minutes," a question-and-answer column that featured Mundy asking typical and atypical questions of local and national sports figures.

Dave Hill was the first on July 29, 1998.

Here are excerpts from Mundy's "2 1/2 Minutes" with Dave Hill:
