Quick Quotes

Q. Hell of a run for this week, guys. You started off kind of strange I guess this morning. You get here and you find out you don't have to go out and play.

DAN WALTERS: Yeah, that's not something we expected by any means. Kind of a weird week in general. Evan didn't play any practice rounds basically because his back was bothering him. I didn't play one practice round because I got -- I was throwing up all night on Thursday night. I think we played pretty good in match play.

Q. You got to the semifinals in pretty good competition against this field.

DAN WALTERS: Yeah, it's never fun losing, right?

Q. You guys lost to a team -- Kittleston, you played with him in college. He have he have I don't remember what the age difference is.

EVAN BECK: I think he's a little older than me, but I don't know that we've ever played together until today.

Q. You guys were on the same ACC team in I believe '11.

EVAN BECK: So is he two years older than me?

Q. Yeah, because he got to the Amateur in '08 final and you played in the Junior '08 final, so probably two years.

DAN WALTERS: Very nice player. He drove it wonderfully.

EVAN BECK: Yeah. Played that 17th really well.

Q. They weren't even in the field until last Tuesday. They were second alternates from their site.

DAN WALTERS: Did they really? How about that.

Q. Late in the process, a couple days with travel --

DAN WALTERS: How about that? I didn't know that one. Listen, it was a great event. We had a great time. It would have been really nice to play Davis and Chad, who we know really, really well.

I do feel like we got beat together rather than we lost. Evan played some really good golf. He.

EVAN BECK: So did Dan.

Q. If there's any silver lining you've got two years to come back?

DAN WALTERS: Thank you very much for having us.

Q. Kiawah Island and the Philadelphia Cricket Club?

EVAN BECK: Nice. I thought we were told by Bill that it was just the one.

Q. No. Quarterfinals is one, semis is two.

EVAN BECK: Great, that's awesome.

Q. You've got something to get up for. What's next for you? Are you going to play U.S. Am qualifying this summer? Mid-Am?

EVAN BECK: I haven't signed up for either. Next for me is the George Thomas out in Los Angeles.

Q. Nice. That's individual, correct?

DAN WALTERS: Yes.

EVAN BECK: Never played it before. I'm looking forward to it.

DAN WALTERS: I just need to keep hanging out with him.

Q. Are you going to try for the Mid-Am?

DAN WALTERS: Yes, I played really nice at the Mid-Am last year, which was fine, so I'll try to qualify again.

Q. How far did you get?

DAN WALTERS: 32. And I'll play -- don't print this, but I'm playing the Pine Valley member-guest, so that's a nice one. We don't need to be touting them, but I'm looking forward to that maybe more than anything.

Q. Have you played there before?

DAN WALTERS: I have. I have. So try to qualify for the Mid-Am, the Am, I'll play the Carolinas Amateur. I'm hoping I get to play in the Crump.

Q. Are you in the Crump?

EVAN BECK: I am not. I haven't heard.

DAN WALTERS: Help a guy out, huh? I don't get a break except for guys not having the right putter.
