Q. Well, you came up just short. 24 holes is one of the longest matches we've ever seen in the U.S. Amateur four-ball. How mentally draining was that, those extra seven holes?

CHRISTIAN VOZZA: Yeah, it was. I mean, you kind of knew you couldn't miss a shot. You had to hit the shots that you wanted to hit, and we did for a long time. Long time. Then we faltered, unfortunately.

MATTHEW McLAUGHLIN: No, I think it's certainly draining. Obviously you want to get some lunch and stuff like that when you're coming off the course, but we had a good run. We made it. We were talking coming into this tournament --

CHRISTIAN VOZZA: It means a lot, obviously.

MATTHEW McLAUGHLIN: Yep. We made it a lot farther than we ever expected.

CHRISTIAN VOZZA: And we had a lot of fun doing it. We had a lot of fun doing it.

Q. To speak a little bit on the positives, that obviously means a lot to you guys. Speak on the week. Obviously made it farther than you even expected. You're taking away a lot of positives.

MATTHEW McLAUGHLIN: No, for us to do this every year, it's a treat for us to do it together. We don't live close, so it always is typically golf related, but we get the families together.

CHRISTIAN VOZZA: It would have been fun to keep it going, for sure. We had some unbelievable holes coming in. The putt I made on the 19th hole was insane. You don't expect that to go in. You don't. You don't. Then the shot you hit on the 20th hole was an awesome shot. Then we keep on going, I got a bad lie on the 21st hole, but then I made an up-and-down, a great putt up-and-down, and we get over to the 22nd hole and made a great putt, but then they made an awesome putt.

We were doing what we needed to do, but they were just strong, strong players.

MATTHEW McLAUGHLIN: For sure. We hit a lot of -- coming in especially, going back to the mentally draining thing, we hit a lot of good shots, but just not ended up where you wanted to be. Whether the wind comes up and that kind of stuff, but I think we -- I have a lot of positives walking away from this week, and I'm certainly very happy to be here, and we'll be back to go again.
