Q. All right, here with Emily Kristine Pedersen. Figured out some things on the golf course today and played really well. Just walk me through your round.
EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: Yes, I would say pretty solid. I think I hit nine fairways and then 16 greens and 28 putts, so pretty solid all the way around.
Obviously there is -- you always feel like you leave something out there, but I think everyone does.
Q. Ball striking, obviously this golf course doesn't have a lot of teeth in it, but it's a fast greens kind of thing. What was working so well today with the irons?
EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: I just think really consistent, like I had a lot of like ten, twelve feet chances, and then whenever I missed one I didn't miss it like big so it was somewhat of an easy up and down I would say, which kept the bogeys off the card which was obviously really key to keep momentum going today.
Q. Been playing some good golf. I feel like I've talked to quite a bit. What's been work so well?
EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: I don't know. Maybe I'm a bit more mature. I don't know. Coming up there in the years out here, but I think I worked a lot on my short game and obviously knowing that I'm better in that kind of takes a little bit of pressure off my long game.
Also I feel like the putting is going better, which was like kind of what I feel like in the past stopped me, because every time I missed a green I wouldn't get up and down and would kill the momentum.
I feel like I'm a little more solid on and around the greens, which takes the pressure off the long game a little bit.
Q. 29 putts. Not bad. How are you going to try to get that number less the next couple days?
EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: Try and holed some more putts.
Q. Obviously.
EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: I think just keep plotting away. Maybe read them -- I don't know. Just hoping some more drop.
I feel like I'm doing the right things. It's just getting those reads narrowed down and trying and hold them.
Q. Anything about the greens this week in particular that's giving a challenge?
EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: They're definitely quicker, like super quick, and then I think sometimes they can be a little bit tricky because they're like -- they're quite slopey but look quite flat, so sometimes it like messes with my mind a little bit.
I think just plotting I way and the more time you spend on the greens the more I feel like I get used to them. So that's good.
