Q. 2-under, what was working so well for you out there?
CHRISTINE WOLF: Well, actually I putted quite well except the last hole where I three-putted. The rest was quite solid. Hit a lot of greens and made some putts.
Q. What did you work on ahead of this week?
CHRISTINE WOLF: Especially my short game, lag putting and stuff and also to just hit it sort of solid, which I struggled sometimes today but most of the time it was quite good.
Q. No wind, how much easier did you feel like this golf course played with no wind?
CHRISTINE WOLF: It's a different golf course. Some holes are much shorter. Others are longer. But you can just judge it more how it's going to roll out and everything because with the wind, you don't always know 100 per cent how it's going to react.
Q. Tell me a little bit about you've spent -- this is your first tournament back in a while. Can you explain why that is?
CHRISTINE WOLF: I took some time off and I travelled the last four months, all through South America, something I always wanted to do, and but I didn't want to give up my golfing. So I thought I would just come be ready to come back for this one and play the rest of the season.
Q. You didn't just travel. You backpacked; is that right?
CHRISTINE WOLF: Yeah, 22, 23 kilos. Happy to give my bag to the caddie again.
Q. How much does taking that time off give you a mental refresh? Has it freed you to play good golf?
CHRISTINE WOLF: Yeah, for sure, it gives you perspective. If you hit a bad shot, it's just a bad shot sort of thing. I'm just enjoying being out here with the girls and having a good time.
Q. Mindset for the rest of the week?
CHRISTINE WOLF: Just going to hit the same shots and try to score well.
