Brian Harman

Quick Quotes

Q. Fifth time here. Coming in, what are the thoughts?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, played good in the Match Play, had a good week off, did a lot of prep, came up here, played Wednesday. The course is good, weather is bad. We'll see how it goes.

Q. Three years in a row; does it get to the point now where this is where you expect to be every April?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I'm just trying to get my game in a good enough place. I know that I can play well enough to have a chance here. Focus has just been trying to peak this week.

Q. I'm sure it never gets old?

BRIAN HARMAN: No, it's a fantastic place. It's cool; it's just a lot of work to get done. They change this place so much every year, it's hard to get it all in a few days.

Q. Does that make the practice rounds important, because there are tweaks every year?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, for sure. There's always a couple greens that are new and new tee boxes, so just trying to get it figured.

Q. Growing up a couple hours from here, was it always a putt on that green to win the Masters?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, for sure, man. I think all of us are that way. The Masters is such a special golf tournament, so it's always great to be back.

Q. How was Dustin's form out there?

BRIAN HARMAN: Looked fine. He's still -- I've known Dustin for a long time. We played a lot of amateur golf together, and I'd be more surprised if his game wasn't in shape than not.

Q. Do you have any thoughts on the LIV guys being here?

BRIAN HARMAN: No, I've got too much to worry about, man. I just stay in my lane. Just try to do the best I can.

Q. One of the things you've got on your hands is coming up here with three kids this year, kind of herding a family. How does that make this week even more than it already is?

BRIAN HARMAN: I mean, it's awesome. I love having them up here. My oldest is starting to get old enough where she's starting to kind of figure out what's going on. It's cool to see her start to like oh, this is kind of a cool deal. But we just take it in stride and do the best we can.

Q. Is one of them going to caddie for you Wednesday?

BRIAN HARMAN: My wife is going to caddie, and it'll be a cluster. It'll be a nightmare with everybody.

Q. Do you come in here with any goals, hopes, expectations?

BRIAN HARMAN: No, I mean, I'm more about just resting up and being ready to go, and then it's just about executing. If I go out and execute, then I'm going to have a chance, so I'm just trying to get in the right frame of mind to be ready for that.

Q. What was your strategy on 13?

BRIAN HARMAN: I laid up. I assume I'll probably lay up most days. It's hard even from the front of that tee box to get it around the corner where you've got something comfortable to come into the green.

Q. How do you see that affecting play as a whole?

BRIAN HARMAN: I think there will be way more people laying up than not in my opinion, but that could change.

Q. Is that good or bad or it is what it is?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I don't know. Good, I guess, if you want to see more wedges and bad if you want to see more people going for it in two. That's just dealer's choice there.
