Quick Quotes


Q. All right, here with Ellinor Sudown after your round. What were some of the highlights out there? Any birdies that stick out to you?

ELLINOR SUDOW: I love the one on -- let's see, what that is -- 15, the par-5 there. I went for it in two and end up really nicely there and two-putt for birdie. That was a good one (smiling.)

A lot of good putting overall, so that was really fun.

Q. You just told me that you like this course. What do you like about it?

ELLINOR SUDOW: I love links golf. I think it's so much fun. This is my second time playing links golf. I just think it's so much fun with the wind and everything.

It's beautiful. You get advantage if you drive it well and then putting is just great. I love it.

Q. How great is it just to see a really good score, your name up at the top of the leaderboard after just one round? I know there is lots to go.

ELLINOR SUDOW: It's wonderful. I haven't been playing great this year so this is really nice. I kind of need it both for confidence, and, yeah, it's really nice.

Q. How is the challenge going to be different tomorrow? What adjustments are you making for Galgorm?

ELLINOR SUDOW: It's going to be a little bit quicker greens I believe. Thicker rough. The rough is going to be really, really hard. I think it's going to rain as well, so then it's going to be tough if you don't drive it well.

So just making smart decisions, picking good lines. I think that will be kind of the key of playing good there.
