Second Round Interview with Brian Harman
Q. Brian, how would you describe the level of control you had over your golf ball these first two days?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, it's been pretty good, controlling my distances nicely. It's one of the demands this place makes on you, you have to really have control of your ball. Ball lands on the green, they're a lot firmer than they seem, and if you're playing from out of position it's really tough.
Q. How about the putter, did you make a putter change going into this year or recently?
BRIAN HARMAN: We'll talk about that Monday.
Q. You had a big lead before midway through a tournament, you won by six at The Open Championship. How valuable is that experience as you try to put away another win with a big lead?
BRIAN HARMAN: Just knowing that I've done it before and that it is possible. You get on big leads sometimes, and I'm sure Keith's going to make a few birdies coming in. Look, man, it's just left foot, right foot and just take your time getting finished.
Q. Been a slow start to the season, how nice is it to see the ball kind of do what you want it to do?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, it has been a slow start, a little uncharacteristic. I've been pretty frustrated, I haven't really been able to put my finger on what it is that's kind of holding me back. So nice to take a couple weeks off and regroup and at least have a couple nice days so far.
Q. Brian, just a birdie run between 17 and 2, seemed like a big stretch there. Can you walk us through that?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah. So was really in between clubs on 16, probably picked the wrong one, thought I hit a good bunker shot, hit a good putt. I had a couple putts that could have gone in today as well, but it was nice to make a nice putt on 17, nice putt on 18, really good approach on 1 and then nice putt on 2 to really get the round rolling and getting feeling really comfortable out there.
