Quick Quotes

Q. Ben, this is your first week at Augusta here. What's this week been like for you so far?

BEN GRIFFIN: Oh, it's amazing. I think everyone would say the same. It's a dream come true for a lot of us to be here.

Yeah, just trying to soak in every experience, do my due diligence, do my practice out on the course, but really take time to look around and enjoy a lot of the moments out here because it's very special.

Q. How do you balance taking everything in but also trying to be a lot more...

BEN GRIFFIN: Yeah, it's hard. A week like this is very difficult to be fully focused on the tournament especially now, the Par-3 contest. I kind of almost forgot the first round is tomorrow.

It's really cool to be able to kind of balance all that. I think it's actually important in regular life and on TOUR is to try not be to overthink a lot of the things before Thursday.

So it's actually nice to have a par-3 contest like this to have some fun and let loose a little bit. Yeah, I'm really excited to tee up tomorrow.

Q. To be out here with Andrew, a familiar face, have you all been able to kind of share the experience together?

BEN GRIFFIN: Totally. Yeah. Me and Andrew have known each other for a long time, so really special for both of us to qualify this year after winning Zurich last year. It's just been a special week for both of us.
