Gemma Dryburgh


Q. Solid start in tricky conditions?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, it was very windy out there, club to a club and a half sometimes, quite gusty. Even like the side winds, it's hard to determine if it was down or just across, so yeah, some tricky holes out there.

Q. Overall pleased going into the final day?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, very solid today, so hopefully maybe I can get 1-under par tomorrow, climb the leaderboard.

Q. Playing with Leona, did you pick up tips from her, or how does it work?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, it's nice playing with Leona. Obviously she's a big name, so it's always fun playing with people like her. I get on well with her.

Yeah, so it's very nice playing with her, and she kind of had a couple bogeys coming in, but overall she played well as well.

Q. Were the members down again on the bus?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Wasn't as many members today but yeah, I had some friends Tulane and school here, as well, so nice to hear cheers again, it was nice.

Q. More major experience and making cuts, Solheim is coming up, do you start thinking about that?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, it's obviously been in the back of my mind pretty much all year. Been trying to ignore it and play my own game. It's obviously coming up pretty soon, in a week or, so yeah, pretty exciting.

Q. You have a good chance this year?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, hopefully. Yeah, hopefully I'm in her good book so we'll see.

Q. Did you have a chat with Leona about that at all?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: We did chat a little about it but can't share here obviously.

Q. Just the buzz, you've been enjoying it, kind of smiling, taking it all?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, enjoying the week. The crowds are amazing this week. It's great to play in front of this many people and on a big occasion, as well, and the course has been great, as well. I think the setup has been really good, too.
