Quick Quotes
Q. Tell us about your round today and how you were feeling out there.
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, the course is in fantastic shape. I hope we dodge the weather. Looking forward to a great week.
Q. Tell us about the changes on 11 and 15.
BRIAN HARMAN: They're both longer. 15 is going to play a little different for me. I think I went for it every day last year. They're all hard. It's just a hard golf course.
Q. Does that change your level of aggressiveness?
BRIAN HARMAN: I think it makes the tee shot on 15 easier just because it's pretty wide where I'm kind of hitting it, and I'm probably going to lay up anyway.
Q. With the impending weather tomorrow, does that affect your preparation at all?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I'll just come out a little earlier than I normally do and make sure I get to see the front nine tomorrow.
Q. A lot of buzz about Tiger being out here. How great is that to be able to see him back out on the course?
BRIAN HARMAN: Well, he's arguably the most influential man that's ever existed for golf, so to have him around, and hopefully he's healthy enough he can be competitive, I think everyone has learned not to count that guy out. He's incredible. We're all super stoked to have him here, and I wish him the best.
Q. Did you get a sense when he walked out here, could you feel on the course it was a little louder?
BRIAN HARMAN: I mean, that's just this event. This event is a standalone tournament. We don't get these kind of crowds week to week on Mondays on the PGA Tour. That's what makes this place so special.
Q. You haven't had the crowds here at least your last couple years, but do you get a lot more "go Dawgs"?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, especially with them winning the big one. Happy for them.
Q. Kis was out here talking about the year of the dog. Do you buy into that? Does that give you some hope?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, Braves, Dogs, guys from Georgia have been playing good. Yeah, it's good to see the university represented so well.
Q. What does it say that so many Dogs are on TOUR and also out here playing?
BRIAN HARMAN: I think it's got a lot to do with the competitiveness that all kind of started with Kis at Georgia. He was a senior when I was a freshman. When I was getting recruited, the negative recruiting against Georgia is that we couldn't put guys on Tour. That was the pitch from the other schools, that you go to Georgia, there's nobody on Tour now. It's nice that we've sort of changed that narrative.
