Q. Here with Cheyenne Knight after her first round at the Cognizant Founders Cup. You had like four birdies in a row making the turn and then added a couple more at the end. What were some of the highlights of that long string of birdies you had?
CHEYENNE KNIGHT: Yeah, I started on the back. Yeah, started off with three birdies in a row and I just kind of made a few more in there.
I was, I don't know, just making, you know, like 10-, 15-footers, so it was nice to kind of get off to a hot start like that.
And then I kind of bogeyed 1 and 3. They're some tricky holes, but a little bit annoying how well I was playing, but finished good.
This golf course, like par goes a long way, so being able to make so many birdies today definitely helped.
Q. These greens I hear are sort of hard to read; tricky. How are you managing that challenge and how has your putting helped your game overall?
CHEYENNE KNIGHT: Yeah, I thought I read them pretty good today because I was making the putts, but they are tricky to read. They break a lot. You have some double breakers.
I think like why I putt so well on these greens is like I just kind of -- like after I hit the putt, that's all I can do is hit the best putt I can and not worry too much about the result.
I just like, yeah, kind of like what speed you hit the putts at is important because they're pretty quick compared to Monday when we first got here, and how warm it is, it just continues to bake them out.
So just knowing the ball is a going to keep rolling the last few feet out is important with the speed.
Q. You've had pretty good season so far this year; haven't missed a cut yet. What's been the key to that success and playing well at Chevron? I know a couple weeks ago was big for you.
CHEYENNE KNIGHT: Yeah, I think last year I had a really steady season as well and I've kind of just continued to get better, and how cliche as it is, try to get better every day.
Me and my team kind of just have a good game plan on how I can get better, and just taking each event and learning and moving forward with that and just kind of focusing on my craft is what I say.
You know, just like mentally getting stronger and tougher each week.
