Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Let's welcome Scott Vincent from HyFlyers GC. Well played today. You're currently tied for the lead after a round of 4-under par 67. Can you take us through your round today?

SCOTT VINCENT: It was incredible. I think it's the best 18 holes I've played this year is maybe what I would say. It was just so tough out there. I was able to execute a lot of the shots how I wanted to, and then when I did get in trouble, I was able to make amazing saves.

All in all, it was just a fantastic day on an amazing course that played really tough.

Q. You've been quietly putting some form together the last couple events, currently 15th in the standings. Can you just talk about your year so far and your form coming into this week?

SCOTT VINCENT: I think if you had asked me at the beginning of the year would I expect to be here right now, the answer would have been, no, I don't think so. I would have been happy to just make some strides in the right direction. I didn't think they would be this big, but that's the amazing part of this game.

You know sometimes you hit these highs, and it's amazing and so much fun. Honestly, it's a bit unexpected. But there's just so much to be thankful for on my part for everything that's been happening.

Yeah, I'm just enjoying this right now. It's really cool. It's fun to play off the first tee box a few times and with these amazing players that I get to learn and watch and I admire.

Yeah, all of it, I'm just trying to take it in and get a little bit better. Funny part about this game, if you'd asked me yesterday how I thought today was going to go, I would not have expected this at all, so this is, again, something to be really thankful for, as well.

Q. Why wouldn't you have thought you would have played well today? You talked about if we'd asked you yesterday.

SCOTT VINCENT: No, I had a rough day on the course yesterday. It beat me up properly. But that's just Valderrama. That's kind of what it does. You don't have to be that far off for it to feel like a million miles away.

But I think just trying to kind of back yourself, commit to these shots, hit them -- they're uncomfortable. Again, you've got no control as soon as that ball leaves the face and it can go all over the place.

But today was just one of those days where it was really dialed. I don't know why. Like I said, yesterday was all over the place.

It was amazing to do that all day.

Q. Do you think because you're in such good form right now that when you have a day like yesterday that it doesn't faze you, that it's like you don't let it carry over, you don't let it impact once the tournament starts?

SCOTT VINCENT: You know, that would be the mature thing to do, and I wish I would have handled it like that. I think I was in a bit of panic mode yesterday just with everything.

I had a really good chat with Steeley on our team driving home, and that really helped. He just reminded me of this week is a grind. It's just a grind. That's the way this course plays. You're going to hit it out of position and be in some really horrible places, but you've just got to keep ticking it over and grinding. Don't let it get to you because it's going to continue to try and do that.

Q. Well, you're kind of a grinder. Do you think this is a course that kind of suits you, that you like this, you like the challenge, you like the toughness of it?

SCOTT VINCENT: Yeah, I think that has been a bit of my career. I wish I could just flush it and just not have to worry about it.

But yeah, it's been a bit of that. If that's all you've got, that's what you've got to hold on to.

It's such a great golf course. There's so much history here. It's beautiful. It's in amazing condition. It's a treat to play. It really is. We're lucky to be here. I'm enjoying that.

Yeah, today was a cherry on top of everything.

Q. I just want to ask you about I think it's the 2nd hole, your 17th. You hit through the fork in the tree. Can you just talk me through that shot? Is that a shot you would not take on if you weren't feeling as good as you were about your game over the past few weeks?

SCOTT VINCENT: Fortunately, the fork was bigger than normal. I felt like I could pull that shot off no matter how I was playing. If I didn't think to, I probably would have just chipped it out because I was in such a good spot score-wise that it wouldn't be worth the risk. It was just big enough and I had enough elevation, and the higher I hit it the wider it got. It just set up really nice. I was pretty lucky to have that.

Q. You're filling in for some pretty big shoes in terms of Phil's spot on the team. Talk me through that experience and being part of the team.

SCOTT VINCENT: It's been amazing. I've loved it since they've asked me to join. The camaraderie, the team, just everything about it, getting to play practice rounds with these guys and just figure out this golf course. Just do it together. I think it's been really fun.

We get on pretty well. Michael and I have tried to take on the old guys, and so far we're one each. We'll see how it goes at the next event.

It's been a lot of fun to be on this team. I'm really thankful, and I'm grateful to be here.
