Quick Quotes


Q. Done with the competition, all four days very hot. If you could talk about the entire week of experience.

ABRAHAM ANCER: Done, yeah, the dream is over, unfortunately. I mean, I played pretty solid, I just played three mediocre rounds that I just finished strong there to be under par. Definitely not my best stuff. You need your best stuff here to get a medal, obviously. Yeah, a little bit sad, but there's a lot of positives out of this week, if I'm just looking at golf, obviously how the tournaments that are coming up are extremely important, so I feel good towards that, I just obviously wanted to bring some hardware for my country and it was such an honor representing Mexico. It was a lot of fun, it was a little nerve wracking because you want to do so good and there's a lot of people cheering you on, but also expecting you to play really well. So it was a very interesting week mentally, I feel like it will help me a lot moving forward and dealing with how I feel on the golf course with expectations and all of that. So overall a solid week of golf, just obviously a little bit sad I didn't come back with a medal.

Q. You came so close this time around like are you excited for Paris?

ABRAHAM ANCER: I am. I mean I can't wait to be there. It should be, what, three years from now. I don't know if they're pushing it three or four years but I mean it's such a cool atmosphere and it feels a lot more, even -- I mean we're not playing for any money, but I mean a medal for your country just, it's just so cool. So it's really a neat experience and I can't wait to be back.
