Q. Champion here in Jeddah, Chiara Noja, you are the champion of the Aramco Team Series in Jeddah at 16 years old, a schoolgirl, winning in sudden death against Charley Hull. Tell us, to grow up watching somebody like Charley Hull, ten years older than you, we have a photo when you met her at ten years old, to come out and beat her in a sudden death, to win here in Jeddah, how do you feel right now?
CHIARA NOJA: I don't think it's sunk in quite yet. I think the stress and happiness will come later this evening. Before we went out, my dad showed Charley that picture. It's just like a full circle. It's just a blessing.
Q. How do you do it? You're only 16 years old and you're studying for your GCSE's at the moment. How do you dedicate enough time to bring that X-factor to the golf course? Where does that ability to play golf at the very top come from?
CHIARA NOJA: Hard work over a lot of years. I think it definitely didn't start yesterday. Yeah, hard work, a lot of commitment and just trying to not back out of shots and commit to everything that I do and not be afraid to fail.
Q. You certainly didn't back out of any shots. You powered your way around the golf course, drives of 300 yards; that certainly helped you on that playoff hole, and the second time, I'm asking.
CHIARA NOJA: Yeah, definitely. This course, when you can go into par 5s in two, it is a massive advantage. So I tried to take advantage of that this week, and it paid off.
Q. Now, what is the plan now? You are a winner on the Ladies European Tour. I expect you're going to have to pinch yourself. How does that sound? Where do you go from here?
CHIARA NOJA: I have no clue honestly. I can't even like begin to fathom. I'm just going to try and relax tonight. Maybe a burger, I don't know, treat myself. Sleep; I think the best night of sleep I'm probably ever going to get, and see how I feel tomorrow.
