Q. Congratulations on a great week.

MARTIN CONTINI: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Q. Martin, with Honda they say it's the power of dreams. When you started on Monday, obviously the dream is to be able to play, make it through the qualifier, play in the event. How much did the reality match your dream coming into the week?

MARTIN CONTINI: Yeah, I mean, it was a lot. Every time you play a qually like this you're hoping to get in the field and play the tournament.

But you know it is a long shot. Being able to play, and even more to do it this way, it feels really amazing. It wasn't the day I was hoping today, but I'm still happy. I'm still glad to be here, to share all this with these incredible players.

I mean, they are my heros. I watch them on TV, and now to be playing with them, it means the world to me.

Q. What's next?

MARTIN CONTINI: Well, I think I'm going to focus on playing the Korn Ferry Tour. That's what I have to do. That's what I need to do really to be here one day, hopefully next year. So I'm going to put all my energy there.

Q. How much do you think the experience of playing this week, especially on a difficult golf course like this one, is going to help you when you go through the Korn Ferry Tour season?

MARTIN CONTINI: Yeah, a lot. Really a lot, because to be here, to watch these guys, to know that you're not so far of that level. Sometimes you watch them on the TV and you think, wow, they are like from another planet or something like that.

To be here, watch them, watch me between them, it's -- it feels really, really good. It gives me like a lot of energy to keep going and to accomplish the dream to be here one day.

Q. You had family watching you this week.

MARTIN CONTINI: Yeah.

Q. What was it like playing in front of them out on the big stage and getting their support?

MARTIN CONTINI: Yeah, my brother is here, my is here, a lot of friends. It was really great to know that that much people care about me.

And, yeah, that's I think that's the biggest part in all of this. They make me enjoy it the way that I did, so I wanted to thank them. I wanted to say hi to my family there in Argentina, to my girlfriend, to my friends who are watching this. Thank you a lot. Thank you Argentina, because I know they all been in this week with me.
