Q. All right, here with our runner-up of the CPKC Women's Open, Mao Saigo. Really great finish from you. Best finish on the tour so far. How happy are you this result especially knowing you were 3-over heading into the third round, right?
MAO SAIGO: I was chasing leader this morning. However, I started with a bogey. From there, I was able to be in contention and that experience I'd like to cherish.
Q. What was it like playing in contention? Can you just describe the emotions, the feelings when you saw your name tied for the lead at one point?
MAO SAIGO: Even if I catch the leader I was determined that I was going to make more birdies, so I was focused on playing good golf and just keep making birdies.
Q. I know you've been playing well. Did anything about your game feel like different this week? Did you feel loose or anything feel different about your game this week?
MAO SAIGO: Of course yesterday's 61 was how it help me come in second place, but I played hard this week all week, four days. That helped me come in second place this week.
Q. Last question: What did you learn about this experience that you hope to take into the next few events that you'll be playing in?
MAO SAIGO: Being in contention this week was great experience for me, so I like to take this experience to the next tournament and be in contention in more tournaments to come.
