Quick Quotes

Q. You come back to Oklahoma in a couple weeks as a LIV winner. What type of reception do you think you'll get?

EUGENIO CHACARRA: Yeah, it'll be fun. I have all great things to say about the state of Oklahoma. It changed my life when I decided to go to Oklahoma State. I was an average player, and I become one of the best players in the world in amateur and college golf. It's been fun for me. It's a great journey. I love the fans over there. I love the people. They love golf. I expect a lot of crowds, I expect a lot of folks. Oklahoma State is huge, it's big. I know there's going to be some "Boomer Sooners," but it's so fun. I always have a great relationship with them. I think we're great rivalry. It's going to be fun. I can't wait. Like I said before, it's one of my two favorite weeks of the year. I've got Tulsa, Valderrama -- obviously Valderrama, I'm Spanish and it's always a dream to play against the Spanish people and crowd, but also Tulsa is like my second family. Oklahoma has always been great for me, and hopefully we're going to have a good crowd, it's going to be fun, and I know if I can play good, the people are going to be happy.

Q. With five OSU players in the field, who do you think will be the fan favorite?

EUGENIO CHACARRA: Well, I feel like all of them have been huge golfers and been great for Oklahoma and for Oklahoma State. I know all the fans love all of us. They love us all the same way. Talor Gooch is born there in Tulsa, so we're expecting a lot of people for tail or, but I feel like Peter, Charles, Wolffy and me, we've all been doing great things for Oklahoma State. I know they're going to try to follow us Oklahoma State guys, and hopefully one of us can be on top at the end of the week. I think that's going to be very special for Oklahoma golf and will be very special for us. We all know we want to play there, and we're all very happy for the opportunity LIV gave us to be playing golf in Oklahoma.

Q. What do you miss most about Oklahoma?

EUGENIO CHACARRA: Man, it just means a lot, the Oklahoma State family. I feel like the coaches, the tutors, all the staff that works there, and obviously my teammates. I feel like I had a great time there. It was so sad when I decided to leave, but they're still family for life. Every time I have a week off or something else, I go back there to give the program what they gave me. I feel like I'm super grateful for what they did for me. I think they're just the best program in the world. I think what they do for golfers and in my case for me is something that nobody will do.

My teammates, my coaches, my staff, the tutors and everyone out there, I feel like Oklahoma, Stillwater and Oklahoma is my second home, and I'm always really proud to say that. I'm going to be a Poke for life.
