Q. So tell me about this match. Obviously it was close all the way, but how did you feel it went?
SCOTT HARVEY: It was fine. I wasn't as sharp, I would say. I don't think he was as sharp either. We played clean golf, I think. I don't know what the numbers were, but I feel like he made a bogey and I made a bogey. I don't really remember anything else. I could be wrong. Doesn't matter.
Hard to make birdies out there. Made a few on the front, and back nine was just -- I don't know, just a real tight match. You could tell it was going to be tight all the way.
Q. How were the conditions considering all the rain this morning?
SCOTT HARVEY: A lot of mud balls. I mean, a lot of mud balls. Yeah, it was fine. It's drying out a little bit, but it's got -- 18, for example, I would have gone for it. Had just a massive amount of mud on the ball, so I laid up. That's fine.
Q. You looked like you were in close to the same position you were yesterday on your third shot into 18. What were you trying to do there?
SCOTT HARVEY: Same thing. Just hit it a little -- Jenkins and I talked about it, just a little right of the hole, and let it draw in there. It didn't -- again, I don't know if there was mud on there or whatever, but it just didn't, and I hung it out. A little short too.
I hit a good putt, but that's a 1 in 50 putt there. Whatever, it was a really good match.
Q. What club did you have in your hand?
SCOTT HARVEY: Pitching wedge.
Q. And the yardage?
SCOTT HARVEY: Was it 135, Jenkins? 135, pitching wedge. Just didn't hit it exactly how I wanted to... unlike yesterday.
Q. You have two boys, and sometimes they have to tell what they did on their summer vacation. When you get home, what do you have to tell your kids about what happened here this week?
SCOTT HARVEY: They know. My son't texting. He's in school. He's texting me this morning at 7:00 a.m., and every day I can tell -- I'm in there eating lunch, and he's supposed to be in science class or whatever, and he's texting me. So my 15-year-old knows what's going on.
My 5-year-old says -- I probably can't say what he says. He says, go win so you can play in -- first he says Masters, and he starts cracking up. And he says go win so we can play in the Pastors. Then he says, go win so we can play in the Poopy. Every one, he's just cracking himself up. He went on for five minutes. It's funny.
They know what's going on. I had a big crowd. They were going to come up -- if I won today, they were going to come up tomorrow, but it didn't happen.
Q. How would you describe your week here despite losing today?
SCOTT HARVEY: I love it. I love this place. I love being here.
Honestly I feel like this Mid-Am was a notch above the rest of them honestly. Just the little things: The hospitality, the food, the parking spaces, everything. This place is special.
And knowing Vinny adds a lot personally to me. I don't know if other people feel that way, but it adds a little something for me.
Q. How long have you known him, Vinny Giles?
SCOTT HARVEY: Since I was born. My dad and him are good buddies, played in four balls and that sort of thing, traveled together. I got so many memories as a kid going down and drinking cherry cokes while they drank light beers and told stories. A lot of character building.
Q. Did Vinny ever give you advice?
SCOTT HARVEY: No. You mean on the course?
Q. At any time during your career.
SCOTT HARVEY: No. I mean, he was just always someone I looked up to. Dad spoke highly of him. Obviously a lot of respect for him as a person and player. He invited me, any time I wanted to come up during the summer and do some homework, he called it. I just didn't have the time, so I didn't do it. But a special place, man.
