Quick Quotes


Q. You're one of the guys that are just knocking off the champions left and right, now you guys today.

NATHAN SMITH: They were incredible. They had I think a couple birdies early and then they basically birdied 9 through the whole back side. I don't know what else to say. I think we had -- even from --

Q. I know you said you got one hole back, 15?

TODD WHITE: Nathan birdied 15, had a good look on 16 and just didn't fall. Like I said, we ran into a little bit of a buzz saw with the birdies that they threw at us on 9 through 14, I guess.

NATHAN SMITH: Yeah, basically all of them. But we played well, and they're a great team, and they'll be a tough out. You know, being from Pittsburgh and knowing Palmer, he's a superstar, and his partner is great, too.

Q. You mentioned yesterday you guys have played some together.

NATHAN SMITH: Yeah, so he's awesome, and he was at Pinehurst in the final eight of the U.S. Amateur a couple years ago at such a young age. That kind of speaks to the player he is. It was fun being with him. Todd and I have no reason to hang our head. We played great, and like I said, they played incredible. They just went on a run there for five or six holes and sunk how many birdies in a row, and it's not easy out there, that's for sure.

Q. Sum up your week. You guys have won this thing, get to keep coming back for 10 years. How does this venue compare to some of the other ones you've played?

TODD WHITE: You know, it's one of those to where you're one swing away from not knowing what score you're going to make on a hole. We were out here in 2010 for the Am, and it's totally different. It's green and softer.

I think the Women's Am, I think it'll be a great test for them next year, also.

NATHAN SMITH: It's just beautiful, and the amount of tees they have and the property, you can get options and get creative out here. It's a lot of fun to play, especially match play.

Q. What's next for you guys?

TODD WHITE: Taking off to work.

NATHAN SMITH: We'll do something, just to try to stay sharp.

Q. You guys are into the Mid-Am, right?

NATHAN SMITH: Yeah.

TODD WHITE: I'm not. I've got Senior Open qualifiers next week, but in the immediate future I know I'm in a red eye flight tonight and I'll be in the classroom, we have exams that are going on and I've got to get back, so I'll be in the classroom tomorrow morning, unfortunately. And then yeah, Senior Open qualifier next week, and from there I don't really know.
