Quick Quotes

BRANDEN GRACE: When you see one of your teammates being 5-over through 4, it makes it pretty tough. It's not a golf course where you can start going after stuff. But listen, it was a great year. We came here, we grew closer as friends, as a team, and very excited to see what's going to happen next year.

Q. You hit it in the water --

BRANDEN GRACE: Yeah, I hit it in the water, didn't carry it over, had to drop on the tee, pulled it left, was in the bunker, didn't have a great stance. Left it short of the green and a bad lie, made quadruple. Then it's pretty tough. Tough to just kind of get the -- not the motivation but just tough feelings to start off today. Just struggled. I was pretty good off the tee. I felt good chipping and bunkers and that, but I just couldn't get it going with my irons. I hit bad shots, and the misses were just in the wrong spots every time, so it was just a very tough day.

Q. Between you, Louis's injury, you've got Hennie coming back, it didn't seem like it was going to set up well --

BRANDEN GRACE: Well, I think we're all in a very good space. Hennie was back, and Louis's injury, and I actually don't even know what he shot today, but I think he played really well. He said he just started going for all the pins near the end. But that's going to happen. We were very close for being third at a stage, and we thought, let's make a push, and one or two bad swings again, and there you go.

Listen, it was a great move to come here. We've all enjoyed it, and obviously the team is set now for next year. We're excited about that, and we'll see if we can make it a few better next year.

Q. Best year individually for you, most fun year? How would you sum it up?

BRANDEN GRACE: Yeah, it's been great. Fun-wise on the golf course it's been great. I enjoy the team format. Again, I love being part of a team. I think it brings the best out of me. Obviously today -- I still don't know what today was, but it's one of those things; it happens.
