Q. Talk about this experience for you, getting to the quarterfinals and basically quasi hometown following out here. Exempt for next year. Sum up the week.
TOM GIESELMAN: All in all it was really exciting. It was a whirlwind, but just kind of took it all in, and it was -- I guess the best part about it was having my family here the whole time. Friends were out here. Probably got a thousand texts. That was the best part of the whole thing, whether I won or not. That was really cool.
Q. I guess you find out who the real support is when you get in one of these things close to home and you stay your own bed.
TOM GIESELMAN: Yeah, and the people from all over. Then my game held up pretty good except I didn't putt well today.
Ball striking, I been working on that. Getting better, so always improvement at 59; hopefully I'll be better at 60.
Q. What do you think you'll take from a week like this next year to Kittansett?
TOM GIESELMAN: I'm just going to keep working on the game and be confident that I can make the cut, I can make match play, and I can win matches. Gene is a hell of a player. Somebody told me he is the No. 1 ranked senior amateur in the world right now.
Q. He's 200 and something on the WAGR.
TOM GIESELMAN: I know he didn't have his best out there today, but I felt like could have had him. So that gives me confidence that I can hang with him. It was nice to talk to him because I hadn't seen him for 30 years and he's a really nice guy.
