Q. Congratulations on a great week. I know the championship match wasn't what you wanted, but all in all you've got to take a lot of positives from this week.
KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, I played solid every day. I couldn't get it going with the putter in the final match and Scottie is probably playing the best golf on the planet right now. I knew I needed my best, and just couldn't hole anything to get any momentum my way check. I don't think I won a hole the whole match.
Hats off to him. He's playing great. Like I told him after, enjoy the hell out of how well you're playing, man.
Q. 14-2 in your last 16 matches here. That's a pretty good won-loss record.
KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, man, I can do it here. I hope they re-sign the contract so we keep coming back.
Q. What does this do for you leading on the next few weeks?
KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, I need to go get some rest for the Masters, hang out, maybe turkey hunt a little bit, and we'll get ready to go next weekend for the Masters.
Q. Second twice here now and you've won it once. This doesn't feel as good as winning, does it?
KEVIN KISNER: No. Holding that trophy, having all those people hug you is a lot more fun. He's playing incredible golf. I did my best and just couldn't get the putter to cooperate in the afternoon.
But it was a hell of a week, and I love Austin, love this place and love all the people.
Q. What is it about this golf course that suits you so well?
KEVIN KISNER: I just think it fits my eye. It looks a lot like home, all the different angles you can play and use slopes from different places to get the ball close to the hole.
I think it's a fantastic match play golf course.
Q. You came so close to holding that trophy. You played beautifully all week, and in that last match against a very powerful player in Scottie, what was the difference?
KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, I just didn't make anything. I missed a short one to win a hole there early and three-putted 6 for birdie, and he played flawless, four birdies, no bogeys, and holing that bunker shot just threw a wrench in that.
I don't know if anybody is playing better than he is. Like I told him after, enjoy the hell out of how well you're playing.
Q. How much can you take from this week, a different format?
KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, I hope they saw how much the balls were rolling in the fairway and try to firm up the fairways there. I'm looking forward to the Masters. It's my hometown event. Can't wait to get there and hopefully have a chance.
Q. (Indiscernible).
KEVIN KISNER: Who knows, man. We'll see. I've got to play well leading up to it. I haven't done that. I was close to getting a pick and I just didn't earn my way on the team. Looking forward to that opportunity.
