First Round Interview with Brian Harman

Q. Brian, best round by far on this golf course for you in competition. What was different today?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, just drove it good, made a few more putts than I've been making. My game's been feeling like it's been getting close, but just hadn't had any results, so nice to get off to a good start this week.

Q. I was going to ask you about that, you have been playing well and it seems like in each tournament there's like one round that kind of throws you out.

BRIAN HARMAN: Right.

Q. It's easy to say, well, I'll just do this, but what do you try to do to get rid of those mental hiccups?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, it's just consistency and execution. Yeah, my good days have been good enough to win and my bad days have been not great. You've got to find a way on those days, and that's usually a strong part of my game is gritting it out, figuring out a way to get it done. So just patience and just executing a few more shots and see what happens.

Q. One of the things was the Texas trip here with Houston and everything, people used to love playing all of them, you had Dell and then go right up north. You were one who did really well in all those events. Does it kind of bum you out that it's not that way anymore?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I love Texas, man. I love the people here, I love the state, I love coming. I wish Houston, years coming up I'll play Houston again. I love it out here, I love the weather. If I had to move anywhere, I'd move to Texas for sure.

Q. I've got to ask you because I didn't hear the answer, Final Four, three SEC teams, who you got?

BRIAN HARMAN: Don't care, man. I hope they all lose.

Q. Brian, one last one. Just how's it feel to get a good round under your belt knowing that windier conditions are picking up, gusts in the afternoon, that you can take it into the house, watch some golf and have a nice start tomorrow?

BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I'll go take a nap, hang out with my kids by the pool, be a dad for the afternoon, wake up and be ready to roll in the morning.
