Mixed Zone

AARON JARVIS: What a week. It's been a great week so far. So unbelievable.

Q. Can you sum it up start to finish?

AARON JARVIS: Crazy in a good way. Everything thrown at you and all the good challenges and stuff, it's been awesome.

Q. Do you keep your eye on the leaderboard at all as far as the Low Am?

AARON JARVIS: I thought I was way out of it. Then apparently Barclay Brown isn't having the best back nine. So we'll see what the Italian guy is saying. I'm only two back right now. You never know.

Q. He's 2-under. He's got a long way to go.

AARON JARVIS: Long way to go. You never know, right? Who knows?

Q. That would be pretty cool.

AARON JARVIS: That would be pretty sweet. So we'll see what happens.

Q. What do you take out of this? What have you learned?

AARON JARVIS: Just that I can come out here and compete with these guys. Just got to trust your game plan and just have fun when you play.

Q. Have you ever played any links golf before the amateur? The amateur was at a links course.

AARON JARVIS: Not really. I played the Junior British Amateur a couple years ago, but nothing linksy at all.

Q. Takes some getting used to, doesn't it?

AARON JARVIS: It's a completely different game. You've got to adjust and learn the slopes and run it up. Just adjust your game to links. It's a completely different game to anywhere else. It's good.

Q. Is it just a matter of you've got to do it, it's repetition?

AARON JARVIS: Yeah, I mean, it's more about just figuring out what you need to do to your game to make it work around links golf. I think it's managing where you land the ball and dealing with tough lies, especially in the rough.

Q. Now it's on to the Western Am in a couple weeks.

AARON JARVIS: Yeah, a couple weeks.

Q. Is it going to be hard to come down from this?

AARON JARVIS: Maybe a little bit, but I think I'll come back once the tournament gets going and be focused on what I need to do.

Q. That's a match play event, is it not?

AARON JARVIS: Yeah, three days and then --

Q. Do you do stroke play first?

AARON JARVIS: Top 16 go into match play, Sweet 16.

Q. After stroke play?

AARON JARVIS: Yeah, three days of stroke play.

Q. All right. Congrats.

AARON JARVIS: Appreciate it.
