Q. We knew this about four and a half hours ago, you guys were a winner this morning. What makes you two such a tough duo, Brian?
BRIAN HARMAN: Good looks.
Q. How about on the golf course?
BRIAN HARMAN: Max is in form right now. Boy, he was looking good today.
Q. Max, when you see the deficit coming into the afternoon, how much emphasis coming off the momentum you guys had this morning did you put on yourselves to make sure you posted an American flag up there?
MAX HOMA: Oh, I mean, nothing. Nothing extra. We've all just been trying to put as many points on the board as we can. So, you know, Harm and I kept our focus and just wanted to add another point.
Obviously, again, it's a big hole, but you can only do one point at a time, and we were fortunate to get one this afternoon.
Q. Max, just how well did you use that momentum from this morning into this afternoon's session?
MAX HOMA: Yeah, we were ready to go. We were very excited to get the nod to play this afternoon after a really good round this morning.
So it was fun. Just felt like we got some lunch, hit a couple balls, and then just got to keep getting after it. So it was a blast to get to do this.
Q. Brian, how good is it to see those two red blocks top of the leaderboard this afternoon's session?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, so glad for those boys to get out in front of us and put one on the board. Was super excited to play with Max again this afternoon. We were doing well.
Q. Why do you two work so well together, Max?
MAX HOMA: We basically have zero things in common about where we're from, but we are the exact same person on the inside. So I very much enjoyed vibing with Brian, watching him play. He is steady Eddie. It just made me feel like I could just go be myself, and I think that's why we work so well together.
Q. Brian, what's the belief now within this USA team that you can turn this thing around given those two top matches this afternoon's session?
BRIAN HARMAN: Well, look, we've got a deep hole to dig ourselves out of, but we've got a really good team. We're excited for tomorrow.
Q. Same thing, Max? Excited? The vibe, the excitement for you to try and push on and, yeah, turn this thing around?
MAX HOMA: Yeah, I love this team. I think they're amazing. And every one of us knows we can go out there and get a point tomorrow. So I think that's all that's on our mind.
Q. Southern/West Coast connection. What attitude did you bring to the golf course today?
MAX HOMA: Left foot/right foot. That's what Harm told me on the way to the tee, left foot/right foot. Just keep doing what we're doing, trust our games.
And I got a great partner. So it's real easy to be comfortable. So, yeah, that was my attitude at least.
Q. He told me earlier in the week how much he had bonded with you. But on and off the golf course, how would you describe your relationship with Max?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, it's just been incredible. Love him. And you're not going to be able to take this partner away from me.
Q. You're on your own tomorrow. There's a big gap between you and Team Europe, no matter what happens the rest of the way. What attitude needs to happen tomorrow for all 12 of you guys?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, back against the wall. We've got a deep hope to climb out of. But we've got some good players and got a good team. So we're going to fight like hell and either win or die trying.
Q. Max, how would you describe the unity of this team?
MAX HOMA: Great. I really believe that everybody on this team believes in each other. It is a massive hole, don't get me wrong, but I believe in every single one of these people to put a point on the board.
And, yeah, I don't think that there's been a second that's gone by where it hasn't been like that. So hopefully we'll go out there tomorrow and just go crazy like we can. And it will be fun. And I know everybody is trying their hardest, and I think we're due. So looking forward to tomorrow.
