Quick Quotes

Q. You guys knocked off another USGA champion -- I think of the seven USGA champions in the field, you knocked off five of them. How do you explain that?

PALMER JACKSON: Well, we're trying to be one, and in order to beat USGA champions you've got to beat some.

Q. What happened on the 21st hole because I know on 18 you guys both had chances, and then you both birdied the first extra holes. What happened on the par-3?

PALMER JACKSON: I think Davis hit it 20 feet right of the hole, I put to about eight feet. The one guy hit it in the bunker and Preston hit it to about 15 feet. Shortened story, Preston missed his 15-footer and I had eight or nine feet to win, and I made it.

Q. So he went first? Where was your ball?

DAVIS CHATFIELD: I hit it like three, four feet by.

Q. What did you hit into the par-3?
