Q. Walk us through the round a little bit today, some of the highlights, some of the lowlights.
ADITI ASHOK: Yeah, I think I played good today, kind of the first day no mistakes, just the bogey on 17 feels like that's the shot I left out there. But I think overall it's a good week. I've never played in this position on the LPGA, so to be near the lead on the first day, kind of stay there the whole tournament. The competition is just so deep out here. 10 people have a good tournament but only one can win. I'm happy with the way I played.
Q. What was going through your head before the playoff and even way before the playoff when you were making those final putts today?
ADITI ASHOK: Yeah, for sure, especially after bogeying 17. I just wanted to get that shot back, so that kind of motivated me to birdie 18. I hit the same shot in the playoff, too, but it just kind of stopped really quick. It pitched in the same place during regulation and it released all the way. I don't know how that happened, I guess rub of the green, but the putt hit the hole from like 15 feet, which you can't ask for more than that. Yeah, still a good day.
Q. One win already this season and now a runner-up finish here on the LPGA. What part of your game is really trending upward do you think?
ADITI ASHOK: Just working on swing speed in the off-season, gained a lot of yardage, so that's definitely helped, especially on this course where the par-5s, I could hit two on the green when they moved the tee up on 15. I was getting close on 13. The driving distance helped a lot, and just working on being more consistent through the game. I changed my irons back to what I was using a couple years ago, and I'm more comfortable with that, so that's kind of helped this week.
Q. Where will we see you next and what are some plans until then?
ADITI ASHOK: Just a week off so I'm going to relax. This week is actually a little more exhausting than I thought it was going to be, but still, I'm happy with where my game is at, so just work on the same stuff and try and do some of this at Founders, too.
