Quick Quotes


Q. All right, here with Steph Kyriacou after another victory at the T-Mobile Match Play. Looked like you were trailing a bit during the match and came back at the end there. Can you just talk a little bit about that?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, didn't come off to a hot start, but A Lim just made a couple birdies there in the first few holes. I wasn't playing bad or anything. I just -- she was holing some putts. But, yeah, and then I just kind of kept to my game and made a few birdies coming in.

Yeah, unfortunately she didn't hit a couple good shots towards the end there, but, yeah, got the job done.

Q. Can you talk a little bit more about the last couple holes, the birdies you made? Anything in particular about those holes? I don't remember how many times you played those holes this week.

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Which holes?

Q. It was 14, 15, and 17; looks like you won.

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Oh, yeah, birdied 14, which was good. The pin was nice today. It was on the right side. I thought that was pretty important.

I missed birdie putt on the last hole from about 15 foot which is one of those where you really want to hole it.

So to be able to hole that one I think was like the turning point.

Yeah, and 15 just nailed one down the fairway. Kind of just got it over the next (indiscernible) and yeah, won the hole.

So, yeah, I yes those were pretty important. They're pretty intimidating so it's kind of like trying to get it in play.

Q. And what do you do in between this time to prepare for the next match? Do you take it easy? Go back out to the range?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: No.

Q. What's the mindset I guess, strategy?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Well, I just ate so that's obviously priority number one.

I've honestly got no idea. It's a bit of an awkward time, so probably go lie down for like 20 minutes and maybe have a power nap and go warm up again.

Q. Anything you'll take away from this past match for this afternoon, anything on the course you saw or anything in particular about today?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: I wouldn't say -- nothing in particular, but I'll probably just going to try to do the same thing: Play my own game, stay patient. It is windy and I think it's going to get windier, so just try to keep it in the right spots on the course.
