Q. 7-under final round is pretty solid. 18-under is pretty dang good.
ALLY EWING: Yeah.
Q. Take us through I think you had six birdies. Start with the birdies. Any one of those in particular really get you going for the day?
ALLY EWING: No. You know, I started out kind of just not really hot. I made a birdie on the third hole and then made bogey on 6, three-putt.
And got to hole 8 and just kind of -- really have to take advantage of the par-5s out here. We have five of them, and I got a birdie there. And then made the turn and everything started clicking and I started making putts and hitting really good approach shots.
So I wouldn't say one really stuck out, but I gave myself a ton of opportunities today. I think I only missed one green and it was by like two feet. I could still putt it from off the fringe. So lots of good shots and birdie looks.
Q. You had an eagle as well.
ALLY EWING: Yep.
Q. On No. 14.
ALLY EWING: Uh-huh.
Q. Take us through that hole and tee-to-green what happened, how did you get it, and how exciting was that?
ALLY EWING: Yeah, I hit driver in the middle of the fairway and I had about -- I think it was 183 to the pin, and I ended up hitting like kind of a high cut 4-hybrid because the pin was on the front right, just kind of getting it a little bit past the hole, and then I rolled in a 20-footer.
I mean, so obviously par-5s, this is still -- if you can get an eagle putt, much less get it to roll in. So, yeah, when I had a good look I just tried to put a good stroke on it and hopefully make it, and then it went in, yeah.
Q. Game feeling good heading into a major?
ALLY EWING: Yeah, really excited. Obviously kind of closer to home which is exciting for me. My parents are coming. I played the golf course back in March. It was wet and rainy, which we might be seeing some of that this coming week.
So, yeah, it's a great golf course. It's going to be a major championship test. I certainly get excited for those types of tests. Game is feeling good, so try to give it a run out there.
Q. I'm sure your eyes are a little bit on rankings. Obviously tomorrow and if you can get inside the top 15 and what Jessica will do obviously next week, I would imagine I stick to your own game plan, but is there extra excitement knowing you have a good week and some other pieces fall in place you could be going to Japan?
ALLY EWING: Yeah, I think it's just one day at a time, one shot at a time kind of thing. Golf is very different than a lot of sports. It's so much about controlling your mind and not letting it get ahead or even let it stay behind. If it's a bad week, you don't want to stick on that.
Yeah, certainly just one day at a time and try to execute my game plan, execute shots on a daily basis, and then I feel like I feel good enough about my game where if I do, that I'm going to give myself a lot of opportunities to play well week in and week out.
So next week it'll be the same. We'll get a game plan by Thursday and just try to go play the golf course and not other people and let everything just take care of how it's going to take care.
