Quick Quotes

Q. Win last week and so close this week. Tell us how you feel now?

LUCAS HERBERT: Yeah, there's a lot to be proud about I think. Played really nicely obviously in same final group at Sean, felt like it would have been easy to be overwhelmed in the situation but felt really cool and calm. Just looks like it's going to be one or two short. It's hard to be really happy with it but still a really good week.

Q. This is where you want to be, playing alongside the world No. 1 and playing as well as him. This is where you want to be.

LUCAS HERBERT: Yeah, a hundred percent. Even just playing with the world No. 1 and how he goes about it and learn, but to be out there in my own shoes and play some really nice golf in front of him, that was obviously something to build some confidence off of going forward into the future.

Q. The rain delay, that hurts. How do you deal with that?

LUCAS HERBERT: Yeah, it was a funny one. I think that 16th tee shot would have been really hard in the rain. So in some ways, it's pretty good that we did get that rain. We got out there and felt like the whole energy and everything had been really sucked out of the situation.

Yeah, just sort of hard to get yourself back up as much as you needed to for that putt on 15, and then just needed one more and couldn't quite get there.

Q. What are your reflections going to be driving down to Royal St. George's?

LUCAS HERBERT: Obviously coming off some good form, so I think there's a lot of confidence to take. But look, I haven't really processed it yet. I'm sure tonight I'll be able to go through it all and have a think and sort of regroup going into next week. But yeah, I think I've earned myself a wine or two tonight.
