ELINE MARIE MADSEN: I think we both struggled a bit. I think one of the best thing in my game was being straight from the tee. So that helped a lot. But we both had some bad holes.

ELINE MARIE MADSEN: Definitely.

Q. Is this the farthest you've been in the championship?

Q. Coming in, did you have expectations of going this far?

ELINE MARIE MADSEN: I've actually -- I've played pretty good, like before this tournament. So I had big expectations but I also tried to keep my expectations low and just focus on every shot.
