Quick Quotes


Q. Describe the week and what it took to finish tied for second at the RBC Heritage for you.

EMILIANO GRILLO: A lot of hard work. I gave everything that I had this week. Stewart played really, really well. Congrats to him.

You know, it's been a tough couple last two, three years. Still trying to get my second win, so I think I'm going to have to wait for that one.

Q. When you reflect back on the week, what are those big positives that you take forward as far as the confidence level is concerned?

EMILIANO GRILLO: Yeah, you know, like putts like the last two holes, the chip-in on 16, the putt on 17 and 18, you take those into the weeks to come. When you're there, when you're contending, when you're having a chance to win, you want to make those, and I was able to do that today, just not enough birdies and not enough mistakes from Stewart.

It's one of those weeks that I'm happy with finishing second. I'm happy to be the first loser. It's one of those that you take on and move on.

Q. I know yesterday you said it would be really hard to catch Stewart, but how happy are you with your performance this week?

EMILIANO GRILLO: Yeah, I couldn't do much more than I did. Stewart played unbelievable. Like I said before, he's got a four-shot lead going into the last. I don't think he's going to blow that up.

Kind of like I said yesterday, it's going to be a fight for second place, just the way he was playing, and it was kind of that today.

Happy the way I finished with that chip-in, and those two putts that I made on 17 and 18 gives me a lot more confidence going into the weeks to come.

Q. You definitely made some clutch putts and chip-ins like you mentioned coming down the stretch there. What do you take from this week moving forward?

EMILIANO GRILLO: Just that, just making those putts in the moments that I needed to. Just one putt there on hole No. 12, the only three-putt of the week. It kind of sucks because of that. I was trying not to three-putt the whole week. It would have been kind of a record for me. It's just that.

I played solid the whole week. I made almost no mistakes, and quite happy about that.
