Quick Quotes


Q. All right, so how does it feel to be at Q-Series finally? I feel like it's been a while since Epson Tour Championship.

MILA CHAVES: Yeah.

Q. How does it feel to be here and ready to compete?

MILA CHAVES: Feels great. Yeah, it was like a month off, but it kind of went fast, too. Also like I was here last year, so it feels like very soon again.

But it feels great, yeah.

Q. Awesome. And then being in that Epson Tour 11 to 35 kind of gave you a little bit more time off than those who are coming from Q-II.

MILA CHAVES: Yeah.

Q. How does it feel and how do you think your game is right now having that month off to take a step back, relax, and practice heading into this?

MILA CHAVES: Yeah, I mean, I think I was playing good. Obviously I took a month off, but also I needed it because I needed to rest and reset for this long two weeks.

So I think it's nice to have a break in between for sure.

Q. And then obviously the season is long. It's lots of travel.

MILA CHAVES: Yeah.

Q. Q-Series specifically, it's two weeks, eight rounds, very long and tedious.

MILA CHAVES: Uh-huh.

Q. How do you keep positive both in-season and during Q-Series? Like you said, you've done it before. How do you stay positive and remind yourself you're here and doing what you can and that is what it is?

MILA CHAVES: Yeah, I mean, I think it's such a long tournament and like one bad round doesn't mean anything, so just every day just think that it's a new day and new opportunity.

And the same with the season. It's just a long season. You have many tournaments out there that you can play good and make a good season out of it.

Q. Awesome. And then leaving the course during the day, how do you leave the golf out there and relax while you're in your hotel or airbnb and get ready for the next day and not worry about what today was or the day before?

MILA CHAVES: Right now I'm really into the World Cup, so I'm watching the games and that's fun. During the season, the same. I just try to find things to do in the cities that we are in and try to relax, either work out or do anything, hiking, everything that keeps me off golf.
