Quick Quotes


Q. Overall Lilia, to be able to get in on Wednesday, only have the pro-am to warm up, and to really put it all out there today, what are your thoughts as you leave this playoff?

LILIA VU: I think I'm very content with how I played in week. I know I left -- I made a lot of mistakes today, to be honest, and I felt like this was definitely not my A-game, but I knew that the more I play the golf course the better I get at it, and I knew I had a good chance today. Today was just Angel's day. I'm happy for her.

Q. What was the mindset going into the first tee this morning knowing that there would be some gettable holes out there today?

LILIA VU: Oh, just try and birdie every hole. For some reason I just truly believe that I could birdie every hole, and if I don't, then just move on.

Q. This back nine, what were some of the thoughts as you were coming down the stretch?

LILIA VU: I don't think I played really well on the back nine, to be honest. I think I was just kind of like finding my way with something and then I was kind of losing energy I think.

And then luckily 17 I birdied, was able to be in a position for a playoff, so don't think that what I shot today would've won, to be honest.

Q. To be able to get into this playoff, it was Chevron Part II against Angel.

LILIA VU: It was.

Q. What was the strategy as you looked down the 18th hole again?

LILIA VU: Just play my game, not really focus too much. I mean, the pin hole location was in a bowl, so whoever hit it closer was probably going to make birdie.

I didn't give the hole a chance, so -- I mean my ball, so it's okay.

Q. How do you take this as we head into Korea next week?

LILIA VU: I just am worried about being cold next week. That's all I'm worried about. Nothing else really.
