Q. Okay, a 3-under round; 10-under total for the first two days. How does it feel walking off this last green knowing that?
MANON DE ROEY: Yeah, pretty good. My game is pretty sod over the last two days. I've been hitting good shots. Made some good putts.
So, yeah, it feels good. Yeah.
Q. And then you had a bogey to open your back nine and then followed it with a birdie. Eight rounds is a lot of golf and mistakes will be made here and there. How do you keep positive when bogeys are inevitable and they're going to happen throughout the rounds? How do you keep positive when that happens and get yourself back into your game?
MANON DE ROEY: Yeah, I said it yesterday, too, when I have a bad hole or something I'm pretty easy in forgetting the bad shots, so that's good.
And it's a lot of golf left, so I just have to stay patient. People are going to make mistakes, as you said, but I know I can make a lot of birdies as well out here. So, yeah.
Q. And then with the I guess conditions and the cold, I know not everybody is used to it. Knowing that you're all playing the same course, how do you remind yourself of that in the moment when the weather isn't necessarily what you want it to be or the wind is blowing, that kind of stuff?
MANON DE ROEY: Yeah, I don't think it's too bad. Like I said, it was very cold and today was a bit warmer because we started later. But it's the same for everyone, so I feel like everyone is in the same situation, so it's fair to everyone.
Q. And then how do you keep positive and remind yourself there is so much golf left, and not just the bad shots, but just like the fatigue and the tiredness of it -- it's a lot and it's exhausting I'm sure -- how do you remind yourself it's all worth it in the end?
MANON DE ROEY: Yeah, like I can came off from the LET season last week, the end the season, which I knew I still had a lot of golf left, but I'm excited to be here. I'm going to do my best and just take one day at a time. Yeah, we'll see.
Q. And then obviously an LPGA Tour card at the end of this is everybody's main goal and that's why you guys are here. What smaller goals do you set for yourself throughout the two weeks to lead up to that big one?
MANON DE ROEY: I think I just take it day by day. I don't really -- I mean, I set -- I didn't really set a goal for these two weeks. I just wanted to play my best golf out here and see where I finished.
But it's going well right now, but there is still a lot of rounds left, so I am just going to keep doing what I'm doing.
