Q. Commiserations; it was a very tight day. How did you find that playoff, first of all?
EMMA TALLEY: Well, that stupid bunker. Now looking back you say if I would have done this -- obviously I wish I would have hit the ball straight or just hit less club. I did it in the practice round, I hit it in that bunker in the practice round, but the other two days I didn't so I didn't really think anything about it.
But it was such a good day. My boyfriend was on the bag for Jen Kupcho and it was hard to watch them on 18, but what a great day. We were all battling all day, and that's what makes it, right?
I think we were both a little nervous on the playoff holes. They weren't great shots. But she played great today. She putted amazing. Yeah, kudos to her. I'm just proud of myself for putting myself in this situation, and I look forward to next week.
Q. You said yesterday that it was really weird obviously having Patrick there. Was it a little better today, got a bit used to it?
EMMA TALLEY: Yeah, it was much better today. I wish I would have known that prior to yesterday, but you can't know everything, right? Everyone is learning every day. Next time if we're ever paired together I'll know how to go along with it.
But yeah, it was a good day. Like I said, unfortunately I didn't get it done, but I actually wrote in my yardage book last night, I just put, on 18, because I obviously didn't know what was going to happen, I put "Thank God for this opportunity and the experience no matter what happens." That's truly how I feel.
Q. What are you going to take from this moving forward for the next few weeks?
EMMA TALLEY: Man, I mean, this -- I had to learn how to play the game again. I lost my game for two years, so this confidence I can just build on and learn from it and keep going. I'm excited.
Q. How happy are you that you're back to this place, that you've found this happy place again?
EMMA TALLEY: Yeah, exactly. I haven't been like this in a long time, so just super excited and excited to kick some butt this year.
