THE McGLADREY CLASSIC


October 24, 2014


Brian Harman


SEA ISLAND, GEORGIA

Q.  Brian, solid Friday afternoon, 3‑under to go with your 5 yesterday.  Your thoughts heading into the weekend.
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah.  I'm excited.  I let a couple get away today.  I felt a little sloppy, but I finished well.  I had a nice couple up‑and‑down, chip‑in, 15, 16.  So I ended the day well.  I hit some great shots today.
Just going to try to keep getting it a little tighter and try to hang in there a little while longer.

Q.  Talk me through the middle of the round there.  It seemed like every time you made a birdie, you gave one back on the very next hole.
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah.  That's kind of what I referred to about being a little sloppy.  Short game just wasn't quite where it needed to be.
A couple drives‑‑ you know, here you're penalized so much for poor drives, and I hit a couple that were just a little uncharacteristic, so I'm just going to really think about those and try to figure out exactly‑‑ I'm glad that I finished with some really good tee shots to give me a little momentum going into tomorrow.

Q.  Certainly 16, of course, there's trouble looming in every direction down there, but the chip‑in that was I think most of it is how well you strike the ball.
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah.  That's a hole, it's just so tough, it's into the wind.  I actually looked up at the scoreboard and saw where some guys had 80 or 90 yards, so I guess the wind flipped at some point today.  We were having to aim way over there to the right.  It's a great golf hole.
So fortunate to get a good lie in that rough.  The chip on the hole before had a good chance to go in, so I was glad to see that one find the bottom.

Q.  So wise position heading into the weekend, you look like you're the low local at the moment.  Does that add a little bit of extra pressure or is that a little bit of extra excitement I guess?
BRIAN HARMAN:  Well, I'll be playing with‑‑ hopefully I'll be playing with my good buddy Russell.  He was actually a local here for a while.  He lived here for a little while before he moved back to Charleston.  I'm just going to try to hit the best tee shots and the best iron shots and try to make a few putts and see what happens.

Q.  Bulldog shootout over the weekend?
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah, I hope so.  That would be a lot of fun.

Q.  Brian, a strong finish out there gets you in with a 67.  What do you take away from your second round?
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah, it was good.  Played well most of the day.  I had a couple of just kind of loose bogeys that I wish I had back, but I finished well.  Should have some momentum going into tomorrow.

Q.  Take me through what happened on 16 with the chip‑in.
BRIAN HARMAN:  Well, I got very fortunate.  It was out of the bunker.  It was in the rough and it was sitting up a little bit, so I knew I could get some spin on the ball, and that particular shot is into the grain.
You know, I hit a really good shot, but obviously I got lucky to get it to where it was.

Q.  There's a chance you'll be paired with Russell Henley tomorrow who's currently 9‑under and leading.  What would that be like if you're in the same group?
BRIAN HARMAN:  That would be great.  Russell is a good buddy of mine.  We were best buddies in college, still really good friends.  Got to go to a football game with him earlier this year, Georgia/Tennessee game.  "Free Gurley."  So hopefully I get paired with him.  I like playing with him.  We've played a lot of golf together.

Q.  All right.  We'll see you out there on Saturday.
