Quote Quotes


Q. Well, you did get down early again. You were able to battle back. That's becoming a theme. How were you able to do that?

JENNIFER PENG: Yeah, I think just in the beginning, it takes a little bit of time for me to get free throw groove of things, to warm up. A bit of a slower start again. I had the same mindset as yesterday; I did it once, I can definitely do it again, come back. Yeah, and then I kind of focused and got four birdies in a row. Flipped the match from 2-down to 2-up, which definitely really helped with the momentum going into the back nine.

Then kind of some up and downs again, but I knew going into my favorite hole, on 18, that things were looking up.

Q. Looking at your scorecard, you had two bogeys in the first four holes and then you ripped off four straight birdies. What did you find in that stretch of holes there?

JENNIFER PENG: Honestly, I didn't even realize. I was chatting to Eric, we didn't realize we had four birdies in a row. We were kind of like driver, approach, putt, kind of just focusing on each shot, each hole, so just kind of worked out that way.

Q. You dealt with this a couple days ago, but how does the rain delay affect you? What are you going to do to go out there and jump back into the round?

JENNIFER PENG: Yeah, I think with a rain delay you kind of have to go back in, doing the same thing, knowing the course is a little bit wetter, so just playing to that, and greens rolling a little slower than before the rain.

But nothing too crazy or different.
