Just kind of different than the golf I'm used to in Texas. Q. A little bit, right? GAVEN LANE: Yeah. Q. You ever played on poa before? GAVEN LANE: A few times, like in Arizona or something. Q. Do you like it? GAVEN LANE: Yeah. It's nice. Q. Tough to make those five-footers, right? GAVEN LANE: Yeah. Q. Obviously you've seen Pebble Beach on TV. What was it like when you were standing on, say, the 7th tee getting ready to hit your tee shot? Were you thinking, Wow, I'm here? I must be dreaming? GAVEN LANE: A little bit, yeah. I don't know if I was fully focused on my actual shot. Kind of chunk hooked it left, but it was cool. Q. Yeah. What were some of the other holes that you said, Wow, this is something?

So obviously you're committed to Oklahoma State, right? GAVEN LANE: Yeah. Q. You probably have heard the Brad Dalke story. GAVEN LANE: Yeah. Q. Is that a career trajectory? I know it's kind of a rival school, but is that kind of a career trajectory or kind of a role model you're going to look up to as you... GAVEN LANE: I mean, I never really thought of it but, yeah, it's kind of the same deal. Q. What went behind the decision to commit so early? GAVEN LANE: Just, I mean, LSU is a really good golf school. Good history. I like how it's closer to home. I mean, just really couldn't go wrong with it. Q. When you go back home, what are the one or two things you would work on that you learned from playing here this week? GAVEN LANE: Nothing much. Felt like I hit the ball good. Did everything well.
