Quick Quotes


Q. Pretty solid finishing round.

MINA HARIGAE: Yep.

Q. How does it to feel to finish under par, definite Top 10, probably Top 5?

MINA HARIGAE: Yeah, I'm happy with my performance. I kind of -- how do you say? I scrambled a bit today. Yeah, there are a couple pins, but also pretty gettable holes.

So overall I'm really happy with how I played today.

Q. You had a handful of birdies as well.

MINA HARIGAE: Yeah.

Q. 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, 15. Out of the gates how important was it on this Galgorm course to get going?

MINA HARIGAE: I think it was really important here, especially the reachable par-5s on 1 and 3, so that gave me a little bit of a boost of confidence to go on for the rest of my round, so I think that was really important.

Q. Any other birdies stand out today?

MINA HARIGAE: Yeah, I think my birdie on, what was it -- did you say 14?

Q. 7, 10, 15.

MINA HARIGAE: 15, I think 15 was a really important birdie for me. I hit a funny shot on the previous hole. Made not a very good bogey, so I think I coming back with a birdie on the next hole, that was really good coming in.

Q. Move up the CME Globe rankings with this performance. You continue to try to do that each week.

MINA HARIGAE: Yeah.

Q. How is the game feeling with a week off coming up?

MINA HARIGAE: Game was feeling good but I'm also happy to have a week off. This was my fourth event in a row, so I think that's about my maximum, and I'm really excited to go back and work on some more things.

Q. What will you be working on?

MINA HARIGAE: Probably just tweaking a little bit of my full swing and dialing my wedges a little bit more so I can keep making birdies.

Q. Scottish and British?

MINA HARIGAE: Yep.

Q. Before a few more weeks off.

MINA HARIGAE: Yep. Oh, yeah, huh? This long stretch is almost coming to an end, so it's good.

Q. How do you game plan for a Scottish and a British back home?

MINA HARIGAE: I think just work on -- because it's obviously different kind of golf, so probably practice the shots that I need, like low wind shots, all types of short game shots, and just I think lag putting is probably going to be a huge thing, too.
