marie nerys is suing her son, 25-year-old kory hanson, for unpaid room and board, car insurance costs and gas money. >> judge patricia: all right, everyone, thank you so much. please be seated. >> sonia: your honor, this is case number 128, nerys vs. hanson. >> judge patricia: thank you, sonia. ms. nerys, you are his mother. >> i am. >> judge patricia: he's one of, what, four children? >> yes. >> judge patricia: you say that he was living with his brother. there was a problem. he asked you t you drove 400 miles round trip to get him. you're charging him $150 for the gas. he said he would pay it. >> correct. >> judge patricia: when he moved in with you, you said, "you could stay here. but it's gonna cost you $80 a week." you said, "and i'll let you watch the cable and use the wi-fi. but that's gonna cost you $100 a month." then you said, "you can borrow the car. but that's gonna cost you $100 a month for your insurance." and you said, "and you get no food. you buy your own food because i can't afford the food. i use food stamps. and you have a younger, ill brother who i have

>> judge patricia: so, after all of this, you're saying that he owes you $4,180 and has not paid you anything. you say you're sick also -- you have diabetes; you have immune deficiency issues -- and that you never agreed to pay for anything. you say, finally, she threw you out. she put all of your property on the front lawn. and she cares more about your younger and more ill brother than she does about you. you owe nothing. do you work? how old are you? >> 25. >> judge patricia:yo >> judge patricia: when you came from your brother's home, your other brother's home, to move in with your mother, did you have a job when you got to your mom's house? >> yeah. i was in retail in fred meyer. >> judge patricia: and how much were you making? >> about $10 an hour. >> judge patricia: okay. now, i ask those questions because i wanted to know whether or not you had an expectation that he'd be able to pay you for these items and because it is quite a list of what he would have to lay out for you at the end of a month. how did you come to this agreement? he says there was no agreement, that you were letting him stay there. and everything

mom-son kind of thing. and you're saying, "no way." >> the way it all worked out was that he had called me to tell me that he couldn't live any longer with my older son, who has a boyfriend, and if he can come and live with me. and at the same time, he would be helping me out because i do have a son who has chronic health issues. and he's under constant care. so he was gonna help out with that. >> judge patricia: and give you all this money. >> i tell him it was going to be $80 a week because it was gonna help for the utilities and everything. >> judge patricia: what wasn't because he's paying for wi-fi and cable, $100 a month. by the way, what was your wi-fi and cable bill before he came? >> maybe $20. >> judge patricia: and then it went up to $100? can i see proof of that, please? >> i don't know if i brought that. the reason being for that is he was wanting the wi-fi because he watches netflix, and he watches different things. so he says, "mom, i can pay an extra $50 a month if you will increase the wi-fi." and i was like -- >> judge patricia: did you say that to your mother? >> no. >> yes, he did, because i would have never done it.

we never had the cable because i couldn't afford it. >> judge patricia: and you say you never agreed to pay any cable. what was she using before you got there? >> i believe it was the antenna. but she had wi-fi in the first place because my little brother needs it for his school. >> judge patricia: so the other thing you have is you said he wanted to borrow your car. when you say, borrow the car, take it once in a while or just take it and make it his? >> for the nine months he was there, he only didn't drive it for a week and a half. >> judge patricia: is that accurate? >> it was probably more than that. >> judge patricia: so did you agree you were gonna give her some money for the insurance on that? >> no. when i was she had told me that i can use the pickup truck because her ex-husband, or my little brother's father, was the one that was making the payments for the vehicle and that i wouldn't have to even worry about it. >> judge patricia: paying for the vehicle is different than covering your insurance. she said you needed to pay car insurance. do you have proof that your insurance went up $100 a month because he was on the plan? >> i do have proof. >> judge patricia: so that you have proof of. let's bring that up. >> i never put him on the claim for it. but i just put the proof of how much i pay for the car insurance every month. and he told me that he would pay for it because he...

because i think you got a little business going. >> i don't have any other children at home. it's just that... just my youngest son. >> judge patricia: judge acker. >> judge tanya: you're not well, mr. hanson. you said... you mentioned in your answer that you have your own issues. >> mm-hmm. >> judge tanya: so, since you put that out there, to whatever extent you're comfortable explaining them, i'd like you to tell me what they are. >> i'm a type 1 diabetic. so i've been that for 15 -- or since i was 15, so about 10 years. >> judge tanya: do you take insulin on a regular basis? >> i do, four shots a day. >> judge tanya: four shots a day? >> uh-huh. >> judge tanya: wow. >> i have diabetic neuropathy from my knees down. >> judge tanya: you've got nerve and sometimes numbness. okay. >> also gastroparesis, which is severe stomach issues. also, i have an autoimmune deficiency where my immune system likes to attack my body. >> judge tanya: yeah. >> and so it likes to attack my eyes a lot. so i have chronic eye conditions that actually cause me to lose work and have to use steroid eye drops. >> judge tanya: roughly, tell me what your monthly income is. >> after taxes, i make around, like, $600 every two weeks. >> judge tanya: so $1,200 a month. >> after taxes. >> judge tanya: thank you. >> i just started about a month ago. >> judge tanya: every litigant, when they come to court and bring a case, has a burden

a mother suing a son, there are some expectations. there's some presumptions of what mothers do -- >> right. >> judge tanya: for sons. you got a big burden with me because the burden of proving that this man, your son, who is sick and who makes about $1,200 a month, the burden's on you to demonstrate that you had a reasonable expectation of repayment. mothers tend to do things for their children -- >> exactly. >> judge tanya: especially when their children are sick or not making that much money. so for you to be bringing a claim for $4,000 against your son, who's got a list of chronic health issues, who brings home about $1,200 a month, you got a big burden with me. so -- >> well, i am a single mom with my younger son. yes, kory does have all those issues. >> judge tanya: no, no, no, no. i need some evidence that when you gave him this money, it was a loan. he said, "mom, i will pay you back," and that you had a reasonable expectation of repayment. >> i didn't -- >> judge tanya: you've got a very heavy burden. so i need some evidence that this was a loan. i don't see it. i see a mom who was looking

i'm not going to monetize your relationship, nor am i gonna put a dollar value on everything that a parent does for a kid. so prove your case. >> okay. so our verbal agreement was everything from the $80 to a week. and i make less money than kory does. so i had told him before he moved in, "kory, i can't support anything." and he's done this before in the past when he lived with me and my husband. he did the same thing. and he did it for three months. >> judge tanya: what same? he got sick, and he needed to come home, and he needed some help? >> no. he was coming because he wanted to be able >> judge tanya: do you have anything to memorialize, written evidence that he'd made this verbal agreement with you? >> well, i have these here. this is a statement from my ex-husb-- well, from my husband, excuse me. >> judge tanya: i'm not gonna read your ex-husband's statement. that's hearsay. do you have a statement from the defendant? >> those are text messages that i had gotten off and, uh -- >> judge tanya: these text messages are between you and your son. >> me and kory. >> judge tanya: "you said you would pay for the gas round trip from my house to tacoma. you said you'd help pay

extra every check to pay for the insurance. and i haven't even included the food you ate and never put back." blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. his response is, "so still how much?" that's not him saying, "i agree to it." the text messages are you saying to him the same things that you said to me. you know, an agreement is not one way. do you have anything from him to memorialize an agreement? >> you mean like a contract? >> judge tanya: there's nothing in these messages to suggest that he agreed or he's assenting to the fact that this was a loan. >> judge larry: ms. nerys, how much do you make per month? because anybody on food stamps has to qualify. >> right. >> judge larry: and they're below the poverty level, basically. >> i probably bring home from work about, maybe, $700 a month. >> judge larry: you have a sick child. >> mm-hmm. >> judge larry: how old's that boy? >> fifteen. >> judge larry: what kind of food bill, what special food needs, does your minor son have? >> he has to be on a high-protein diet because he's been losing a lot of weight. and, um -- [ sniffles ]

>> he even has to go to ohsu. >> judge larry: which is what? >> doernbecher children's hospital. just about a 1/2 hour, 40 minutes ago i got a call because he has to go see an autonomic neurologist specialist. so the money for food, i even told kory, "i'm spending about $600 extra on food. and you're eating it all." >> judge larry: food bill is 600 a month? >> at least, sometimes more. >> judge larry: i mean, where of entitlement come from? >> i didn't have a sense of entitlement. >> judge larry: really? well, have you ever given your mother any money to help her out? >> i have. >> judge larry: really? so show me proof of what you helped your mother out with. >> i don't have any proof. >> judge larry: nothing? how long did you live with your mother, mr. hansen? >> uh, roughly around nine months. >> judge larry: ballpark for me how much money you gave her in the nine-month period of time you were living under her roof and driving her car. >> i really can't say because i didn't keep it -- >> judge larry: can't be a ballpark? >> no, i can't.

>> judge larry: here's what i see in your answer. "on april 18, 2016, i came home to my stuff outside on the lawn. my mother kicked me out. i had nowhere to go. she even took my xbox." it's no surprise which way i'm leaning. i look at you as someone who took advantage of your mother. and i look at her as someone who's trying to throw you a lifeline. i do have some questions. i've gothe in this case. you claim that your son owes you $2,500. you are seeking the $1,680, the difference between the $2,500 and the $4,180 in our paperwork, for past rent, food, utilities in 2010. i can't give you 2010. you're time barred. there's a statute of limitations. >> okay. >> judge larry: so you are not time barred on the $2,500. with that said, i have no further questions. >> judge patricia: we're gonna

>> announcer: "hot bench" continues in a moment. and later today... >> judge patricia: because i believe your answer here is, "i owe her nothing." that's not sitting well with me. >> makes sense. >> judge patricia: oh, good. >> judge tanya: he didn't have

>> announcer: closed caption is provided by... >> announcer: three judges. three opinions. one verdict.

kory hanson owes for room and board, car insurance and gas money. >> judge larry: i view it as a 25-year-old kid who's still living, if not mooching, off his mother, who can ill afford to carry him -- >> judge patricia: i'm gonna tell you -- my view, any woman who comes in suing her son for this kind of, $150, $80, $100, is the kind of person who was expecting payment from this kid, even if it was just rent and cable. >> judge tanya: i think that she was expecting something. that expectation was not specific enough. and i don't think that there was a meeting of the minds as to a specific obligation that he had toward her. >> judge patricia: there isn't. because -- >> judge tanya: does he have a moral obligation? absolutely. >> judge patricia: i feel like if you look at the big picture, morally and family-wise, there was something going on, that they would have paid. but i'm not convinced about any amount of anything, to be honest with you. >> judge larry: well, i -- i buy into her testimony. i buy into her allegations.

for 2,500 for -- >> judge tanya: i can't. >> judge patricia: can't do it. i don't doubt that there was money owed. but i don't have an amount that i can live comfortably with by preponderance. >> judge larry: i dissent, then. >> judge patricia: i mean, i want to do it, too. but i can't. >> judge tanya: yeah. >> judge patricia: are we ready? >> sonia: remain seated. come to order. this courtroom is again in session. >> judge patricia: we're not a unanimous court. judge bakman dissents from this. he would have given you some money. judge acker and i are not so sure that there was a clear agreement here. i think you were hoping he'd give you money. you were giving him an idea of what you needed. but i think that he's fallen short of whaur of what this son would do. this is a court of law. we cannot award you the money you're asking for. we're gonna dismiss your complaint. and, sir, i get that you have illnesses. i get that you have things. but there are plenty of people far more ill than you are who pay their own way, who take care of themselves, who offer help to their family. you don't seem to be one of them. >> sonia: and this courtroom is now in recess. >> truthfully, i find the whole thing is ridiculous. >> i would have never allowed anybody to come to my home, even if it's my kids.

for taking care of them? it's immature. >> kory and i had a verbal agreement. >> family's family. like, you can't get another family. >> announcer: and now the next case. >> sonia: case number 141 on calendar, reynolds vs. moore, please step forward. >> announcer: matrice reynolds is suing her ex-boyfriend, leroy moore, for the return of a security deposit. >> judge tanya: so the two of you were in a relationship at one point. you were living together. there was a security deposit paid on the apartment. the landlord refunded that security deposit for some administrative reason. >> yes. >> judge tanya: and the expectation was that that security deposit was going to be repaid back into the landlord's bank account. >> yes. >> judge tanya: but then there's a physical altercation between you two. you split up. you, sir, move out. >> yes. >> judge tanya: you stay in the apartment. >> yes. >> judge tanya: the landlord says, "it's time to repay the security deposit." but he ran off with the check. so you're now suing him for $750.

he is done with this apartment. and he is done with you. he owes you zero. do i have your defense right, sir? >> yes. >> judge tanya: when were the two of you living together in this apartment? >> 2014. >> judge tanya: who paid the security deposit? >> i did. >> judge tanya: give me some proof. >> here is the receipts. >> judge tanya: he says he paid it. did you pay it, sir? >> i got the money from my mom to pay it. >> yes, um, me and her mom went half. her mom gave -- i gave 250. her mom gave the rest. >> announcer: "hot bench" continues in a moment. >> judge tanyayo he doesn't live there anymore. >> i feel he owes it because he said -- >> judge tanya: feelings are for your therapist, dear. before fibromyalgia, i was energetic. i was active. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. he also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves.

of $750 for deposit into an interest-bearing account." and it's signed by who? >> only leroy. >> judge tanya: only leroy. all right, leroy. you got the $750 check. >> right. >> judge tanya: what'd you do with it? >> i had it in my possession until we broke up. i was still paying the rent. ms. reynolds didn't have a job. so how was the bills and stuff getting paid? >> judge tanya: let's stay focused on the deposit. >> okay, right. >> judge tanya: because in your answer -- >> right, i had the deposit. >> judge tanya: in your answer, you said that the deposit "was mine." >> it's mine. right. >> judge tanya: but it's not yours because you just told me that you only paid for $250 of it. >> right. >> judge tanya: so, if anything, you would have a stronger position if you said, "i kept 250 because that's what i paid." >> right. makes sense. >> judge tanya: you kept the whole thing. >> i shoulda kept 250 of it, then, because her mom gave the other half. >> judge tanya: so you're now admitting that you owe her at least 500. >> at least, right. >> judge tanya: that was so gosh-darn easy. i should get some money from you. [ laughter ] we got $500 out of the way. you tell me why he owes the whole thing. he doesn't live there anymore. >> he -- i feel he owes it because he said -- >> judge tanya: feelings are for your therapist, dear. >> i -- understood. >> judge tanya: tell me why you think that he owes you.

he had no right to spend the money with the intention of not giving it back when we was supposed to give it back. >> judge tanya: she has a point. you promised these folks you were gonna pay them $750. so is there some reason why i should not hold you to the language of your own document? >> because we went into the agreement to the apartment as a couple. me and matrice didn't have anything written in stone saying that if we broke up today or tomorrow, i have to repay the security deposit. >> judge tanya: not the issue. you have a contractual obligation that's what this contract says. now, if she owes you some more money on top of that, then you could come after her. >> right. >> judge tanya: judge dimango. >> judge patricia: all right. by your own admission, out of this 750 that she's asking for, you owe her 500. am i right? >> right. >> judge patricia: so why didn't you just pay her the $500 before? because i believe your answer here is, "i owe her nothing." that's not sitting well with me. >> makes sense. >> judge patricia: oh, good.

spokeswoman for the irs. she says the only way to thwart attackers is to educate the public. >> it's most important for you to protect yourself from becoming a victim is knowing the signs. >> reporter: for example, the irs does not call to demand money in a specific form by phone. they don't threaten immediate arrest. and will never ask for credit cards or personal information over the phone. casey davis says she's embarrassed but wants others to >> if i could spare someone the mental strain and the financial burden that i went through, i would be completely like honored to do so. the "cbs overnight news"

october is national breast cancer awareness month, and one of the most visible side effects of breast cancer treatment is hair loss. a new therapy in the u.s. is helping women keep most of their hair. barry petersen shows us the science behind cold caps. >> reporter: women say one of the most difficult things about chemotherapy for breast cancer is losing their hair. when the treatment kills cancer cells, it kills healthy hair cells right along with it. but for many women it doesn't have to happen. there's a technique called cold caps. used for decades in europe but almost unknown here. these brave women took us along their journey to save their hair and with it, they say, their identity. >> this one takes an hour. >> reporter: there's nothing unusual about the chemotherapy drugs marinel wolfe is getting

>> you want to do your chin strap? >> reporter: what's unusual is on her head. a cold cap chilled with dry ice to 30 below. as it warms, a new one is strapped on tightly every 20 to 30 minutes. this goes on for eight hours. >> it's not really pain. it is an overall feeling of i just want this off my head. >> reporter: in the most recent study roughly 66% of women kept more than half of their hair. doctors have different ideas about why it works. one theory is that it constricts blood flow, keeping the chemo from reaching the scalp. another is that it freezes many of the hair follicles and the chemo is simply shut out. >> is it working? >> it is working. i have the majority of my hair. the oncologist told me this morning that i would have been completely bald had i not used the cold cap. >> reporter: she gets moral

yes, that's me. we are together on this journey. why is maintaining your hair important to a woman? >> i think it gives you a sense of control. it gives you a piece of dignity. >> reporter: it doesn't work for all chemo drugs or for cancers carried through the blood like leukemia. there are concerns that blocking the chemotherapy could let cancer spread to the scalp. >> the women who choose to do >> reporter: dr. tessa seigler is an oncologist at new york's weil cornel breast cancer center. >> our opinion is that the risks are very, very small if any. >> reporter: seigler sees two good effects. one for patients. >> i think some of it is a look good feel good. >> reporter: the other effect for doctors and how they respond to women who still have their hair. >> we've been surprised at how our interactions are a little bit different.

for sure. >> reporter: using these caps can cost a patient several thousand dollars out of pocket because they are rented by the month. this version circulates coolant through one cap. it is far less available since it must be leased by hospitals. users then pay by the treatment. called dignicap, it received approval by the food and drug administration last december. but neither is reimbursed by insurance. that's why bethany hornthal in san francisco helped to found hair to stay, for women who can't afford the cold caps. their organization has offset the cost for more than 170 women. >> i think that insurance needs to step in here and to level the playing field. >> how does that feel? nice and snug? >> it feels good, yes. >> reporter: in new jersey susan melchian demonstrated the dignicaps for us. she decided it was worth the

no price on beating cancer. >> i can go out and just be who i am and not have the breast cancer define me. >> what does that mean, not have the breast cancer define me? >> not live the cancer but live going through the struggle or the treatment of it. and coming out the other end and being fine. >> extraordinary women. all the women we spoke to for this story, doctors and patients, stressed the importance of awareness. there canbe hefty out-of-pocket costs. but women can't even make the choice if they don't know about it. this treatment option and most doctors are not talking about. i'm happy to report that my wife marinel had her last chemo four months ago. look at her hair.

? music ? extraordinary starts here. new k-y intense. a stimulating gel that takes her pleasure to new heights. k-y intense. bryan cranston is one of the most highly acclaimed actors in hollywood. but his big break came later in his career. cranston landed his first leading role at age 50, playing walter white on "breaking bad." he followed that tough act with

a story for "60 minutes." [ crowd chapting "bryan" ] >> reporter: bryan cranston was born and raised in los angeles and had been a familiar face here for decades but never a star. that officially changed three years ago when the hollywood chamber of commerce embedded his name in the sidewalk. >> i have often walked down this street before. ? but the pavement never held my star before ? ? all at once i'm three ses ? knowing i'm on the street where it lives ? >> reporter: since then it's only gotten better. at age 60 he is on hollywood's a-list and a red carpet regular. and no one was more surprised than cranston. >> i didn't feel entitled to become a star. i didn't expect it. >> did you want it? >> not really. the things you want professionally are opportunities. and through my good fortune that's what's happened.

>> reporter: and when it came late in his career, cranston knocked it out of the park. >> maybe you and i could partner up. >> you want to cook crystal meth? >> that's right. >> when we first started, we were just telling a story and trying to do our best. and it just started to steamroll and became this juggernaut. >> did you see it coming? >> no. not at all. >> chemistry is -- story now. a meek and depressed high school chemistry teacher with terminal cancer cooks up a scheme to make and market a superior grade of methamphetamine to provide a nest egg for his family after he's gone. but over the course of five seasons walter white goes from milquetoast to murderous in order to survive. >> i was just infused with ideas, and i would dream about it and wake up and go oh, i have another idea about walter white. >> you clearly don't know who

it just got into my soul. >> i am the danger. >> reporter: it was cranston's first real opportunity to show what he could do as an actor. >> run. >> reporter: the result was new respect and a closet full of emmys. when the show finally ended, he saw it as a new beginning and an opportunity to try something completely different. it had been years since cranston had performed on stage, yet he decided to sign on with a theater company in boston that was doing a new play called "all the way," about lyndon johnson, a very complicated character. >> it had to be an amazing challenge. i mean, why did you do it? >> it was shakespearean in size, and i thought, whoo, boy, that's a big bite to take and it scares me a little bit, so let's do it. >> reporter: and there were reasons to be scared. >> i realized, oh, my god, this is an enormous play and it's almost all me.

and i started to panic. >> it is all or nothing. >> reporter: but in boston and later on broadway and after that a film version for hbo, his performance was so on the mark -- >> let us begin. >> reporter: -- you had to remind yourself it was cranston and not johnson. >> now, i love you more than my own daddy. but if you get in my way i'll crush you. >> look at that. look at the size of those ears. >> reporter: after winning a tony award, broadway's highest honor, he topped it off with an oscar-nominated performance in the film "trumbo." >> well, well. >> that's quite a run. >> surprising. for an old journeyman actor. >> got a few clips to show you

>> oh, yes? >> okay. roll it. >> what the hell is wrong with you? >> reporter: cranston has been a working actor since his mid 20s. >> oh, yeah. >> very sweet. >> reporter: beginning with a part on the soap opera "loving." >> that attraction is our business. all right? >> reporter: and after there's been everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. good guys, bad guys. >> he's dead! >> i'm sorry, we did everything we could. >> reporter: and sometimes parts so small even cranston's forgotten them. >> it says here it's "amazon women on the moon." >> five minutes for the widow. >> you ended up on the cutting room floor. that's why you've never seen it. >> "amazon women on the moon." who could forget? who wants to remember is a better question actually. >> but i promised myself -- >> reporter: in all there have been nearly 150 roles, not counting the early commercials that helped pay the bills. >> now you can relieve inflamed hemorrhoidal tissue with the oxygen action of preparation h. >> oxygen action. >> do you think you've grown as an actor since then? >> no, but my hemorrhoid has grown. >> reporter: there were guest spots on just about every show on television.

"seinfeld." >> jerry. >> hey, tim. >> reporter: as jerry's smarmy dentist dr. tim wadley. >> cheryl, would you ready the nitrous oxide, please? >> it was like going to comedy boot camp for me being on that show. >> reporter: and comedy proved to be something that bryan cranston was very good at. ? i just want to celebrate ? ? another day of living ? it led to his breakout role in the widely acclaimed series "malcolm in the middle." as hal, the hapless father dysfunctional family. >> wait, wait, wait, wait. there's something we have to talk about. >> he was insecure, you know, not in charge. >> hello. >> he took brain vacations often. ? >> reporter: "malcolm" earned cranston a modicum of fame, three emmy nominations and a reputation as an actor who was willing to do anything. >> those are real bees?

animal. control. >> reporter: and yes, he got stung. >> where were you stung? >> in the lower region. in one of he boys down below. >> sensitive spot. >> very sensitive. the beekeeper went, "sorry." i'll help you anywhere else but that. sorry. >> you are going to get up and -- >> reporter: he did seven seasons on "malcolm" and hated to see it go. but thsh turned out to be a very lucky moment. >> had "malcolm in the middle" been picked up i would not have been available for the pilot of "breaking bad." right now someone else would be sitting in this chair talking to you. not me. >> to watch the full report go to cbsnews.com and click on "60 minutes."

golfing great tiger woods is speaking out about returning to the sport in a rare interview. woods has been struggling to come back after a series of injuries. he spoke to charlie rose on his pbs program. >> when do you think you're going to come back? >> i'm hoping to come back in december. >> you are? you believe you can do that? you'll be ready? competing there. >> more hard work. >> more hard work. >> there it is. a win for the ages. >> here is what's interesting about you more than any golfer -- any athlete i know. it's not just you. it's us. we can't let you go. i mean, there's a sense that we never -- >> aw, you care? >> yes. but there is a sense that we never understood how it was to be so brilliant on a golf course. we didn't get how one could be

we didn't understand how you could lose that either. you've thought about that. >> of course, charlie. i miss being out there. i miss competing. i miss mixing it up with the boys and coming down the stretch -- >> you like being tiger woods. >> i like beating those guys. and that's what i -- that's why i practiced all those hours, is to be ready to take on those guys down the stretch. do i miss it? absolutely. 100%. years old, i'm the first one to admit i can't do the things i used to be able to do. but most people can't at my age versus when they were younger. i have to find different ways to go about it. >> you have to find other ways to win? >> yes, i do. but i'm naturally a tactician. even when i was hitting the ball long and blowing over the top of bunkers that was the strategy. and so i used my mind and then eventually the method i used allowed me to master my craft. >> but that's why the mind is so important. you used your mind.

father, i assume. >> correct.hness. you learned how to win. you still have that. >> oh, yeah. that part hasn't left me. i know how to get it done. i just need to get into position to get it done. >> god, tiger! >> some have said to be tiger % woods was both a gift and a burden. how was it a burden? >> it's a burden in the sense th that i have or tournament anonymity that was lost. if you look back, the only regret i have in life is not spending another year at stanford. i wish i would have had -- >> that's the only regret? >> that's the only regret i wish i had. >> of all the things that's happened to you? >> all the things i've learned. that's been -- all the things i've been through are tough, yes. but they've been great for me. but i wish i would have gone one
