Chris DiMarco

Quick Quotes

Harbor Shores

Q. Nice week. Nice playing this week. Good week to build on?

CHRIS DiMARCO: Yeah, absolutely. If you would've told me I was going to finish top 10 this week start the week, I would've been like ecstatic about it. Obviously a little disappointed with 18. Didn't hit that bad of a drive on 18. Just kicked left and hit the cart path, and didn't even realize that was there to tell you the truth.

Q. Saw you hit your third one on. Did you make the par -- I mean a bogey?

CHRIS DiMARCO: No, I three-putted. Unfortunately left it 15 feet short. (Indiscernible). I thought it was a good putt to build on. I putted really good this week. My iron play was amazing.

So, yeah, any time you can finish top 10 in a major it's a good thing.

Q. How did it feel for you to be in the thick of things?

CHRIS DiMARCO: That was the best part. I think that's what actually.

That's what calmed down a lot of the nerves was actually being in that momentum or in that area the whole 36 holes at the end, last group to second-to-last group.

It just got me right back -- I told my wife, that's where I want to be. I like being in that -- it's hard to not get nervous when you're nervous from the beginning, and after a while it wears off and you're just into the game.

Kind of nice to get back into that shootout. I think this is going to be a really good stepping stone for me to move forward, something I've been needing more a while, some nice little thing.

Should be a nice little paycheck, too, which is good, so.

Q. I was going to ask you, you seem like you did a nice job, kept Jason relaxed. Did you know him?

CHRIS DiMARCO: First time I ever met him. Ever. Today.

Q. 6-under through 10.

CHRIS DiMARCO: Unbelievable.

Q. Back in the shop tomorrow.

CHRIS DiMARCO: Yeah, you know, he played fantastic today. He really did. He just hit a lot of fantastic shots. You know, I mean, really controlled his emotions well I thought. Nice support. Had his family out there. They were cheering for him which was nice.

Yeah, no, it was fun to watch. He played really, really good.
