Q. Carlota, pleasure following you again today. Really good score. When you realized that it had gone 72 holes to 54, does that change your mentality coming into the tournament?
CARLOTA CIGANDA: I was quite happy because I had a little injury last week in Japan. I rolled my ankle pretty badly, so I was like, this is perfect for me, one more day to rest. I was happy.
I even played the course -- it was my first time here, so only played nine holes in Wednesday on the pro-am. Just happy to be playing, and I think sometimes you put into perspective to wake up and feel good every day.
So it's a great course. I think it's good for long hitters, pretty wide off the tee, so you can just hit it. It's playing quite soft.
And then I hit some good second shots and made a few good putts.
Q. You made a lot of really good putts out there, too. We talked a little bit about how your caddie helps you with those putts. What does he bring to the table in that department?
CARLOTA CIGANDA: Yeah, he's amazing. I think this year on putting I think I am Top 10 compared to 100 last year, so, I mean, he does his thing and I really trust what he tells me. We work a lot on the putting green on the speed and the break, and I just try to hit it where he's telling me.
