Quick Quotes

Q. Obviously it was not 24 holes this time around. You didn't have to sweat the -- talk a little bit about that, how well you guys played, maybe learning from what happened four years ago.

DAVIS WOMBLE: Yeah, we played well today. Just like yesterday. The other team, our guys were playing really well. I think we were tied through seven holes. Then Chad kind of got the momentum going for us on 8 and hit it really close on the par-3 and made 2.

Q. How close was it?

DAVIS WOMBLE: It was about four feet, five feet, something like that.

Q. What did you hit?

CHAD WILFONG: 8-iron.

DAVIS WOMBLE: After that, the momentum changed and was on our side. I think I hit a really nice shot on 10 from the right rough down there about 35 feet for eagle. We ended up tying that hole. But we just started hitting some really nice shots. Those kept compiling, and fortunately for us the guys we were playing got a little bit out of position, and we were able to take advantage of it. You've just got to keep making birdies is really the key.

Q. Obviously you guys medalists, sometimes that can be a little burden of expectations, a little added pressure. Did you guys feel that today at all? Were you pretty loose when you got out to the course today?

CHAD WILFONG: I didn't feel -- you know, everybody starts over in match play. You have no advantage on anybody. Even though you feel like you've built it over two days, you know from the very beginning you've got to get after it because if you don't, you'll be two or three down pretty quick.

Just judging by their swings on the first couple holes, they were perfectly capable of beating us today. Very good players.

I don't think -- being medalist never crossed my mind once today. I'm not sure about Davis. But it's a different game.

Q. You guys are a little older team, been around the block.

CHAD WILFONG: We've done this a few times.

Q. Sometimes when you haven't been in that position before, the medalists kind of feel that. Just because you've played great for two days, people think you're going to cruise.

CHAD WILFONG: Right, in 18 holes anything can happen. Somebody gets a hot putter, somebody starts hitting some wedge shots really close, doesn't matter what seed they are. They can be a very tough team to beat. Everybody in the field is perfectly capable of doing that. Like you said, we've done it long enough, especially me. We've done it long enough that you know what can happen, and we've seen it happen to us in this event before. Ran up against a really hot putter about four years ago. You don't take any of that for granted, just go play the best you can and hope it's good enough.

Q. The difference between 13-under and the last spots was only five strokes. Pretty tight.

DAVIS WOMBLE: Well, coming down the stretch yesterday we were 10-under or 11-under with two to go. You make a couple bogeys, all of a sudden 8-under ends up being in a playoff. You never know what's going to happen out here. Then today, I don't know how many under we were, but we played pretty well.

CHAD WILFONG: Yeah, we did. It was set up much different today, the course was.

DAVIS WOMBLE: I felt like we were 5-ish --

CHAD WILFONG: 4- or 5-ish.

DAVIS WOMBLE: We played well on a really hard golf course today. It's getting harder as the wind keeps blowing.
