Q. Fantastic round today. What was the difference? What did you switch from yesterday?
GABY LOPEZ: I left myself better birdie opportunities for sure. I think the greens are too big, and when you're putting from 30 to 60 feet all day, it's a lot of stress for the putter. Being able to hit the ball much closer; very solid off the tee.
Yeah, I still have to kind of give myself a better chance for tomorrow, but I think it was a solid round, yeah.
Q. What do you say to yourself, you had a great opening round and not such a great day and then turned it around. How do you do that?
GABY LOPEZ: I think over four days, there's always going to be one day that's iffy, and I don't think that there's going to be like four perfect golf rounds. I think that it's almost like seeing one golf round and 72 opportunities. Trying to see the long picture and trying not to get caught up on one round. I told myself, okay, I've got 36 birdie opportunities, and let's see how many I can make.
Q. There's a lot of golfers who can't do that. Is this something you've had to learn?
GABY LOPEZ: It's for sure something I've learned over the years. It's quite nice to be hitting it far. That gives you closer irons to the green. Yeah, I mean, I'm just trying to build that Seve talk for tomorrow for tomorrow to be a solid round.
