THE McGLADREY CLASSICOctober 24, 2014Brian HarmanSEA ISLAND, GEORGIA Q. Brian, solid Friday afternoon, 3‑under to go with your 5 yesterday. Your thoughts heading into the weekend. BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah. I'm excited. I let a couple get away today. I felt a little sloppy, but I finished well. I had a nice couple up‑and‑down, chip‑in, 15, 16. So I ended the day well. I hit some great shots today. Just going to try to keep getting it a little tighter and try to hang in there a little while longer. Q. Talk me through the middle of the round there. It seemed like every time you made a birdie, you gave one back on the very next hole. BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah. That's kind of what I referred to about being a little sloppy. Short game just wasn't quite where it needed to be. A couple drives‑‑ you know, here you're penalized so much for poor drives, and I hit a couple that were just a little uncharacteristic, so I'm just going to really think about those and try to figure out exactly‑‑ I'm glad that I finished with some really good tee shots to give me a little momentum going into tomorrow. Q. Certainly 16, of course, there's trouble looming in every direction down there, but the chip‑in that was I think most of it is how well you strike the ball. BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah. That's a hole, it's just so tough, it's into the wind. I actually looked up at the scoreboard and saw where some guys had 80 or 90 yards, so I guess the wind flipped at some point today. We were having to aim way over there to the right. It's a great golf hole. So fortunate to get a good lie in that rough. The chip on the hole before had a good chance to go in, so I was glad to see that one find the bottom. Q. So wise position heading into the weekend, you look like you're the low local at the moment. Does that add a little bit of extra pressure or is that a little bit of extra excitement I guess? BRIAN HARMAN: Well, I'll be playing with‑‑ hopefully I'll be playing with my good buddy Russell. He was actually a local here for a while.  He lived here for a little while before he moved back to Charleston. I'm just going to try to hit the best tee shots and the best iron shots and try to make a few putts and see what happens. Q. Bulldog shootout over the weekend? BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I hope so. That would be a lot of fun. Q. Brian, a strong finish out there gets you in with a 67. What do you take away from your second round? BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, it was good. Played well most of the day. I had a couple of just kind of loose bogeys that I wish I had back, but I finished well. Should have some momentum going into tomorrow. Q. Take me through what happened on 16 with the chip‑in. BRIAN HARMAN: Well, I got very fortunate. It was out of the bunker. It was in the rough and it was sitting up a little bit, so I knew I could get some spin on the ball, and that particular shot is into the grain. You know, I hit a really good shot, but obviously I got lucky to get it to where it was. Q. There's a chance you'll be paired with Russell Henley tomorrow who's currently 9‑under and leading. What would that be like if you're in the same group? BRIAN HARMAN: That would be great. Russell is a good buddy of mine. We were best buddies in college, still really good friends. Got to go to a football game with him earlier this year, Georgia/Tennessee game. "Free Gurley." So hopefully I get paired with him. I like playing with him. We've played a lot of golf together. Q. All right. We'll see you out there on Saturday. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
