Quick Quotes


Q. Hi, Kristen, you had your low round of the week today finishing 6-under?

KRISTEN GILLMAN: 5-under.

Q. 5-under today. Climbed up the leaderboard very fast. The weather was nuts. Tell me how you dealt with it.

KRISTEN GILLMAN: Yeah, I feel like honestly wasn't expecting it to rain all day. The weather said it was going to stop after like nine holes and just kept going.

I mean, I feel like it was soft conditions. It definitely played a lot longer today so I feel like it played harder. I feel like you're able to attack pins more than you were the other days, so just going out there and trying to make as many birdies as I could.

Q. I feel like I can use the word perseverance for you. Kind of lost your card in '19.

KRISTEN GILLMAN: '22.

Q. And played Epson Tour for two years. Last year you finished birdie-eagle to keep your card. How do you keep just grinding and grinding and now you're back here and playing really well?

KRISTEN GILLMAN: Yeah, I feel like I just kind of -- I played a lot of good golf a lot of my life, so just kept reminding myself of that, that I'm a good player, and even though I wasn't playing good golf then, that it can come back.

I just kind of went back to the basics. Just kept grinding and knew if I just believed in myself it would come back eventually.

Q. Last question, a fun question. Do you think the Alabama basketball team can get to the finals?

KRISTEN GILLMAN: I hope so. If you don't believe it you can't do it, so you might as well believe they can.

Q. Roll Tide.

KRISTEN GILLMAN: Roll Tide.
