Q. How do you reflect on this round?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: It was more of a fighting round today. I was struggling a little bit off the tee and I think this course really demand you be in play and being on the fairway to really get close to the pins. So I was fighting hard to get my 3-under so I'm very, very pleased with it.
Q. Yesterday you spoke really eloquently again about the impact you hope sharing your story will have to a wider audience. Is there any sense of an extra motivation almost this week because of the new audience the Olympics brings that maybe you were talking to sort of this group before and now you're talking to this group. Is that coming to your mind at all?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: I think every chance that I -- my mindset has always been the bigger the audience the better. Because I want to spread my message as widely as I can because we were just talking about it quickly yesterday afterwards, like everybody's affected, even if you don't know it. So most people are. And it's just every chance that I get to speak about it, just bringing awareness is really what I'm hoping for.
Q. And a medal obviously would just increase that.
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Absolutely. I mean just being a supporter of something that is so taboo and so hard to speak about, and I know people are struggling to say the words, which is something that I really want to change and something that I want to help people, not accept but understand and just knowing that this is real lives that people deal with on a daily basis.
Q. You mentioned over there the challenge tomorrow to stay in the present not think about 54 versus 72. Will you be able to do that do you think?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Absolutely. We all go out here every single day and we just try and shoot as low as we can. I really don't, I don't think if people are going to have it in the back of their mind, you're going to go out and do as well as you can. I really don't think it's going to determine too many things. I mean having 18 more holes you're going to get a few more chances, but everybody's going to go out fighting as hard as they can tomorrow.
Q. One of the thing that was brought up is maybe playing 27 over the next two days. Would you be all right with that given the conditions?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Well we're not playing 27 today.
Q. No, no that was part of the discussion.
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Right. No, I mean I think they made the right decision because it is way too hot. And I think it's -- I would have been fine with it if it was cooler, but it's just, I mean everyone's health is more important than playing golf, I would say, so I think it's the right decision to make sure everybody stays healthy and they have been on us today and trying to make sure that we're all all right.
Q. You wouldn't be crazy about going out for another round right now?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: I am going to be very happy to go inside and sit in the AC and relax my legs for a bit.
