Q. Great start today. 6-under for the whole tournament. Currently five shots back. What's your mindset going into the weekend?
MAJA STARK: I think the same as today and yesterday. Just being aggressive, and, I don't know, try and hit it close and then not do something stupid. Trying to play boring golf. It works, seems to work.
Q. How aggressive can you be given how firm and bouncy the conditions are out there?
MAJA STARK: I think you can be pretty aggressive. There is not a lot of hazards just in front of the pins, in front of the greens, so I think it would be pretty easy if you just pick a spot where to land it and then let it roll out however long.
I think it's possible out here.
Q. Made a great but unlikely par on 17. How important was it to make a par there and try and finish strong to hold on to some sort of momentum and keep your score?
MAJA STARK: That felt pretty important. I just have not made a lot of the putts today; been very frustrating.
And then hitting it into the woods and not having a great lie, that was just -- I just felt like if -- I just missed a short birdie putt and if I'm going to go these two holes 1-over or 2-over par I'm going to be pissed.
So I just thought about let's just do like Seve and just hit it up and try to make it. I did make a putt finally.
Q. Going into the weekend, the whole tournament is being played here at Galgorm. What did you see today where you'll be able to take advantage of it? It seems like the par-5s are quite gettable for you.
MAJA STARK: Yeah, for sure the par-5s. I think I got a little bit quick on at least 18. Just didn't think it through I guess.
But, yeah, for sure taking advantage of the par-5s and trying to avoid the rough here, because you can end up in pretty -- having pretty big lies. So, yeah, just try to hit it straight.
Q. Plans for this evening?
MAJA STARK: I don't -- eat, go to bed.
