Quick Quotes

Q. First of all, how cool is this?

SCOTT GUTSCHEWSKI: Yeah, this is awesome. This is awesome. USGA events are the best.

Q. Could you have expected this and was he playing really coming in?

SCOTT GUTSCHEWSKI: Yeah, he's been playing well since the spring. Yeah, I mean, he's been playing well.

And I don't think you ever expect to win an event like this; so many things got to go your way.

But I knew he was playing well, and I knew if the breaks went his way, right, I knew that -- I thought he was good enough to have a chance.

Q. Did you play in any USGA events coming up?

SCOTT GUTSCHEWSKI: No.

Q. Played in the U.S. Open?

SCOTT GUTSCHEWSKI: I played the U.S. Open in '05.

Q. Okay, and no...

SCOTT GUTSCHEWSKI: Yeah, no, no.

Q. So now Luke medalist at Riverwood and Trevor; what about this crop of kids and USGA events?

SCOTT GUTSCHEWSKI: Yeah, good stuff, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what it is. USGA must not have brought the best out of me, but apparently they do out of my kids.

Yeah, they're cool and historic events. They're great tests. They test everything. They sometimes I think blur the line on what we as players think is fair. That's part of the test, right?

Q. Absolutely.
