U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP


August 14, 2014


Byron Meth


JOHNS CREEK, GEORGIA

Q. Tell me about your emotions right now, going 21 holes in a match like that.
BYRON METH: I'm happy. Even though I lost, it's still a great week on the golf course. It's a step in the right direction, and I'll move forward from it.

Q. Obviously he missed a short putt on 18. What were you thinking when he was over that putt?
BYRON METH: I was about ready to take my hat off. Decided to keep it on just in case he didn't miss, I didn't want to be that guy with the hat off and then having to put it back on and walk to the next tee. I was expecting him to make it. It was four, four and a half feet. But it snuck by the edge and I had another opportunity. We squared the first two holes and then last par putt lipped-out, but that's golf.

Q. You talked about, you're pleased with your week. Are you pleased with the way you played today?
BYRON METH: I didn't have my best today but I gave it everything I had. So learned from it, tried to tighten up a few things before April.

Q. Tying this all up, even though it's different championships, to win a USGA Championship and then to go pretty far in this Amateur, what does that mean to you and your golf career?
BYRON METH: It means a lot. I've kind of been an underrated player up until now. Even my last big win was in April at conference and I won by seven. That was a big win, but it's nothing compared to one of these championships. These are the majors for amateurs, and it was an honor and a pleasure to win the last APL and it was fun to give it a run here.

Q. Most amateurs know about Nathan Smith and his record. What was that like playing against him today?
BYRON METH: Oh, it was a bunch of fun. I kind of picked his brain a little about Augusta. He told me to steal a few robes from the Crow's Nest when I stay there in the practice rounds. It was a good time. He's a great guy and a class act, and I wish him the best.
