Q. Here with Gaby, 2-under today. Just talk about the conditions out there on the course today?
GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, the conditions, they were tough. Lots of wind. I love how tough it can get. It makes you stay in the present, and yeah, you've got to be very disciplined, as well.
Q. How would you compare this week to last week's course?
GABY LOPEZ: I'm a player that I like when it's tough. I like when you have to think and when you have to hit all the shots. Last week for me, it was hard knowing that, you know, you're just going backwards on the leaderboard.
But we have to adjust to any conditions we play. The more rounds we get in, the more comfortable I feel I'm getting on the greens, as well, with my caddie. It's a matter of getting the reps in.
Q. The greens are a lot bigger this week than last week, too. What is kind of the strategy this week with those?
GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, I mean, I think you've just got to lag putt it very well. You know, speed control has been probably one of the easiest drills that we have to kind of aim on, and yeah, I mean, you know, good round today. Hopefully another good round tomorrow. You know, have fun out there, and be aggressive when you can.
Q. How was the heat? Was it okay for you?
GABY LOPEZ: It was perfect. I've experienced worse in Singapore, and I'm happy that it was -- it was perfect.
Q. I read an article about you getting into journalling a few years back. Is that something you still do?
GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, I for sure do journalling. It's something that's basically my therapy. I try to do it almost every day.
Q. How does it help you?
GABY LOPEZ: I feel it helps me with being able to be aware of what's going on inside of me. Being aware of the fears that I face. Being affair of when I feel uncomfortable, and kind of creating a plan in order to overcome those obstacles mentally and emotionally.
Also creating good memories. I think sometimes we just take for granted got things that happen in life, and being able to be aware of the small little details that life brings us is also joyful.
