Q. Moving up into the Top 10, your second Top 10 in your last three starts. What's come together for you with your game over the last few weeks?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Yeah, just honestly just trying to play golf, have some fun, get out of my own way, and just relax out there and have a good time.
My caddie has really helped me with that. She keeps me laughing and entertained, so it's been great. Yep.
Q. What's the biggest challenge on a week like this when you see players going so low? How DO you stay aggressive day after day?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Well, the conditions were really great this week. Greens are pretty soft. So just stay aggressive, attack when you can. When you can't, just play smart.
I think we did a really good job of that this week.
Q. What does a finish like this do for you heading into a major next week at KPMG?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Yeah, it's a major confidence boost. I mean, I feel like I did everything really well this week, so I'm excited for next week.
Q. Great playing this week. You just mentioned to CBS it's a major confidence boost heading into next week.
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Yeah.
Q. How do you feel heading into the next couple days?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Great. I hit the ball really well and I putted really well. My short game was really good this week, so I think that's what helped me make a lot of birdies.
And, yeah, it was exciting, and excited for next week.
Q. Amy asked you this earlier, but have you played Atlanta Athletic Club?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: No, I haven't, so I'm excited to see it. Everybody says good things about it.
Q. What kind of course do you prefer to play on?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Well, with majors you really think high rough, narrow fairways, firm greens, kind of like the U.S. Open was at Olympic.
So you got there and you just felt like you were at a major championship. KPMG has done a really good job the last couple years of bringing us to great major championship golf courses, so, I mean, I expect it to be the same.
Q. You had one of the lowest rounds of the week today. Just what worked out there today? Did you have fun?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Yeah, I did have fun. Caddie and I were chitchatting down the fairways and I felt really, really good with my putter today. I mean, I hit it close, but also felt good with my putter.
Q. You said you just want to let loose when you go out there. Do you say anything before your rounds to get yourself into that state of mind?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Not really. I do like a 20-minute kind of stretching routine where I -- or warmup routine where I kind of am just by myself and I just focus and just, I don't know, like decompress a little bit.
Q. In the morning before your rounds?
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Yeah.
Q. That's a cool.
BRITTANY ALTOMARE: Yeah.
