Quick Quotes

Q. Are you pleased with the way you played this week?

SAM BURNS: Yeah, I think I played some solid golf this week.

Q. You played solid golf the last few weeks actually. How much of a motivation has being on the Ryder Cup been for you?

SAM BURNS: Yeah, it's huge. I think definitely my No. 1 goal coming into this year. Unfortunately, I didn't put myself in a position to be an automatic qualifier. I think it takes a lot of stress off certainly this week and last week to be in that position.

But you know what, I tried to focus on coming into the playoffs and trying to play some solid golf, and hopefully it's enough.

Q. What are the emotions you think you'll experience the next day or so?

SAM BURNS: It's going to be a long 24 hours or 48 hours, whatever it is. But it'll be nice to go home. I'm definitely looking forward to being home and spending some time with Caroline and Bear and just relaxing and resting. It's been a long three weeks, and I'm really looking forward to that.

Q. Whatever decision Keegan makes about Sam Burns, are you at peace with it?

SAM BURNS: Of course, yeah. 100 percent trust in Keegan. I know whatever decision he makes is going to be one that he thinks is best for the team.

Ultimately I'm Team USA. If I'm on the team, awesome. I would love nothing more. If I'm not, I'll be rooting for them.
