Quick Quotes

Q. Brett, you have made a cut on the PGA TOUR.

BRETT WHITE: Yes, sir.

Q. How does that feel?

BRETT WHITE: It feels good. It does. It's been a long time coming I feel like. But it was nice to get out there and stick to my game plan and have some putts fall. I'm proud of myself. It was good.

Q. What about this week, today, what exactly about it?

BRETT WHITE: I just think it was a tough year. I had Korn Ferry conditional. I wasn't playing a ton of tournaments. When I did, it was either last minute or -- it was just a tough year for me a little bit on the golf course.

Off the golf course, it's been a great year. My wife and I are blessed. I've got some sponsors since playing in the Waste Management.

So off the course it's been a great year, but on the golf course it's obviously what I want to do well at, it's been a little bit of a tough year. Late in the year to Monday in and make a cut gives me a lot of confidence going into Q-school.

Q. What do you hope standing here having made a PGA TOUR cut and having gone through everything you've gone through, what message does that send to people who maybe are going through various challenges?

BRETT WHITE: Man, that's a tough one. When I was going through it, I just kept on putting one foot forward. What message does it send, all that kind of stuff? I think people have to kind of look within themselves and find their meaning and all that stuff, but I know I'm playing golf, I know who and what I'm doing it for.

Yeah, other than that, people who are going through something, just try and put one foot forward and get better every day.

Q. Who's the first person you're going to call?

BRETT WHITE: My wife. She's probably just landing, or that might be her plane right there. She probably has been sweating the whole plane ride, so I'm glad we don't have to get in the car and drive back home tomorrow.

Q. What do you think she's going to have to say?

BRETT WHITE: I think she's going to be a little bit more emotional than I am. But she's been amazing. She always said I don't give her enough credit, so make sure you post this.

But yeah, I'm excited to see her tonight. I think I'm going to go pick her up from the airport, we're going to go get a good dinner and hopefully keep moving up the leaderboard tomorrow.

Q. She says you don't give her enough yesterday --

BRETT WHITE: I just don't mention her in interviews enough.

Q. What does she deserve credit for? How does she help you?

BRETT WHITE: Man, I've been a professional for six, going on seven years. She was an athlete, so she kind of understands, but just all the support that she's given me chasing my dreams. She believes in me. She believes that I'm good enough. Yeah, she's just been with me through it all. Hi, Natalie.
