JOHN DEERE CLASSIC


July 14, 2012


Brian Harman


SILVIS, ILLINOIS

Q.  You hit a shot today with your shoes off.  Hit a shot with the snakes probably on the back of your heels over at 9, and yet you got it around in 69.
BRIAN HARMAN:  I was awful proud of that one out of the water.  Actually came out and had a little bit of spin.  Sat right on top of a‑‑ I don't know if it was a lilly pad or what it was.  As you can see, I'm still kind of dirty from it.
But, yeah, I played really well.  Got a couple bad breaks, and I figure if I'd made a few putts today I would be right in there.  If the putts start dropping, I think I'll be all right.

Q.  16 and 17 were putts you had a shot.  The putt was just off the edge of the green at 16.
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah, yeah, I missed one on 14; hit a really good shot on 12.  I had a bunch of putts that just kind of lipped over the edge.  I made a mess of 9.  Other than that, had a really good day.

Q.  Ball‑striking you feel good about?
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah, ball‑striking is good.  Hit just a couple loose shots today.  I'll tighten that up tomorrow and make a few more putts and see if we can scare 'em.

Q.  Only missed two greens.  Get the putts to drop you're back in it.
BRIAN HARMAN:  That's right.

Q.  (No microphone.)
BRIAN HARMAN:  It was a little bit different than what I thought when I stepped in there.  There is some something in that pond I was trying to get off my clothes all day.
I don't know how the ball stayed where it was.  It was on top of like some algae or a lilly pad or something.  I was able to get a club on it.  I was pretty proud of that shot.  That was kind of fun.
I've already done that about three or four times this year, so I'm getting a little better at it.

Q.  Overall a sold round.  You're right there.)
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah, I hit it good.  If I just made a few more putts.  I made a couple good ones.  Had it going on front for a while and made a mess of 9.
But for my first time in real contention, I felt like I handled myself pretty well.  I'm proud of that.

Q.  What is your game plan for tomorrow?
BRIAN HARMAN:  Make lots of birdies and no bogeys.  That's my plan.

Q.  You want to get this one, right?
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah, I do.  This one would be awesome.  I want to play the British, I want to get in the Masters, I want to get into Maui.  I got all these things in my mind, but it's still just one shot at a time.
Best way to win a tournament is (indiscernible.)

Q.  You mentioned the other day you like the area a lot.  You're in serious contention out here.
BRIAN HARMAN:  Yeah, wish it was a little bit cooler.  Pretty hot out there.  Yeah, everyone around here has been so supportive.
Got a bunch fans out there.  Not as much as Stricker or Zach, but I'm working on it.
