Quick Quotes

J.T. POSTON: As much as I wanted to soak it all in I was trying to stay focused and do my job. Definitely heard everybody out there. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully next time -- I'll learn from this one.

Q. What can you take from everything you saw this week to create some momentum for the rest of the year?

J.T. POSTON: It's definitely a momentum boost. I think the big thing is it was a learning curve for me this week. You know, it's the first time I've really been in this position in majors and I feel like I held my ground pretty well overall. I think I've proven to myself that I can win one of these things, which is very exciting. I feel good about where my game is at. Played well on a hard golf course this week. That definitely can carry over into the weeks to come and the rest of the season.

Q. Know you said you were focused and maybe didn't soak it up as much as would you have liked but did you hear any of your friends, teammates, family while you were out there?

J.T. POSTON: I definitely did. I soaked it in pretty well but I still wanted to try and execute, and I didn't want to get too distracted with everything that's going on. And so I was doing my best to kind of keep my head as forward and focus on the next shot. But I definitely heard everybody. A lot of fun. Certainly appreciate all the support. Yeah, hopefully next time.

Q. What's one small takeaway from the week?

J.T. POSTON: I would say the small scale takeaway is I actually believe that I can win one of these things. I think as pros, you say that you can but it's different to truly believe it. I think it's hard to believe it until you are thrown into the atmosphere and see how you react.

Obviously it didn't go my way this week. But for the first time being in contention and to be right there towards the end, and I know Scottie was a good ways ahead. But I definitely hung in there pretty well. More than anything, I just proved to myself that I can win one of these, which is exciting.
