Q. All right, here with Jennifer Kupcho. Great playing today. You really came back there. Can you talk us through the week.
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, I mean, it's been great. I've kind of struggled coming into this week earlier this season, so to come back and play really well this week, it's good to see.
Q. You played with Rose today, Augusta National Women's Amateur champions, you two, what was that like?
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, we didn't talk. It's in a playoff. Yeah, she's a great player. She was really great in college. It's exciting to see her out here.
Q. What have you been working on that clicked this week? You said it's been a challenging year, but you seemed to bounce back pretty well this week.
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, honestly, I think it was just like I struggled at the end of last year and really just mentally trying to get myself back into it and really believe that I can do it.
Tried something different this week, not looking at leaderboards, and that seemed to help a lot.
Just I came into the week, came into the last few weeks just trying to make cuts and that's not going to get you anywhere.
So every time I thought that out there on the course I just said, you're going to win this tournament. You're not going to just make the cut.
Here I am, so it's exciting to see.
Q. How proud are you to have that resilience and be here right now?
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, I mean, it's been a long trek. It was really hard last year, and, I mean, even the beginning of this year. Lots of rounds crying afterwards, so to be here now, it's a good feeling.
Q. Despite the outcome, getting yourself into this position, looking forward to the other majors of the year, how can you take this result and propel yourself further?
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, I mean, it's hard for me to not think about it, but, I mean, on this type of grass I'm always the best. We're starting to hit in this type of grass going forward, so I'm excited to see where the season goes.
Q. And then you were able to play with an AJGA junior the past few days and there has been a lot of kids around. What does it mean to play in front of them and be an inspiration out here?
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, hopefully they had a good time. I mean, it's great to see them out here. They can play with us and see where their games compare and what they need to work on.
It's exciting to see them, and hopefully they saw and are looking up to us to where they could be one day.
