Q. Here with Allisen Corpuz. Started her tournament 1-under 71. Whole lot of wind today. Got to be used to it. Overall, how was your round today? How did you feel out there?
ALLISEN CORPUZ: Yeah, it was pretty solid. Like you said, really windy. Made three bogeys, four birdies, so happy to be under par for the first round and hoping we can improve as the tournament goes on.
Q. I was talking to Brooke earlier and she said there were some fans out early watching you guys. It's got to be good to be back here playing at home in front of your local fans.
ALLISEN CORPUZ: Yeah, it's really awesome. Obviously my parents parties are out here this week. I live 15 minutes from the course, and then had a few friends out as well.
It's just really nice to have people out supporting me.
Q. Talking about some friends, you have a fellow Buff 'n Blue in the field with you. I know you were asked about it pre round, but just talk about that, reiterate just having your old high school teammate out on the course, not with you, but in the field with you this week.
ALLISEN CORPUZ: Yeah, Mariel is another great player from Hawai'i, and it's just really awesome that both of us are out here representing, like you said, Punahou.
We go way back from like playing junior golf since we were like seven, eight years old, so really awesome, and hope that she also has a really good week.
Q. Early on in the round you were kind of right around the hole, had some birdie putts, they didn't go in. How important was it to keep level minded and know that they were going to come? It was a tough day. But finally see some putts drop there.
ALLISEN CORPUZ: Yeah, definitely. It's been playing tough, especially with the wind up. Just trying to stay patient, and luckily got some putts going in on the back nine. Par is always a good score out here.
Q. Just to get under par for the mindset heading into round two, was that a big thing to get to red numbers so round two sets up correctly for you?
ALLISEN CORPUZ: Yeah, it's always a goal just to be in the red. Takes a little pressure off for tomorrow. Hopefully just frees it up a bit so we can go low.
Yeah, overall really solid round today.
Q. Have you played in a tournament before with Mariel, an LPGA tournament?
ALLISEN CORPUZ: I think we played the U.S. Open together last year. That might be the only one, uh-huh.
