Q. Here with Madelene Sagstrom. Kept it under par today. Really tough conditions out there. Take me through what it was like playing in that wind.
MADELENE SAGSTROM: It was tricky. I think key on this course is -- like to make a lot of birdies you have to hit the fairways, and it was kind of tricky to hit the fairways.
I'm really happy with the way I played. Happy with the score I came in on. I fought hard out there, and it's just a tricky day.
Q. What were some of your highlights? Few birdies on the card.
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Yeah, front nine was very colorful, so I hit some really good shots starting off, like hit ting it quite close to the pin and just rolling some nice putts in.
And then after that I struggled a little bit more so I had to fight a little bit more for it, but probably my start was my highlight.
Q. Just how hard is it to switch kind of your mentality? Playing golf yesterday felt it felt very easy I'm sure and you come out today and it's a grind. How easy is it for you to switch your brain like that?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: I think the conditions kind of make you -- like you know it's not going to be like it was yesterday. I know it was windy yesterday afternoon. I saw it on TV, so I knew that they were having that grind that we had today.
So I still probably got one of the better waves I would say. Got a lot less breeze yesterday. You get kind of used to it. You just play with the conditions that the weather throws at you.
Q. I'm sure it's a little mentally fatiguing, but can you enjoy the challenge of a windy day like this?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: I think so. I mean, we have a lot of windy golf coming up, so I think today it's kind of -- these are the days that, you know, like if you can pull one of these days off you know you can pull it off like when it's under pressure and stuff like that.
Any time I get a chance to practice my wind game I'm happy, because it's never been one of the strongest parts of my game.
So I'm really happy to shoot under par on a day like this. I know it's going to help me going forward.
Q. How do you improve as a wind player?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Well, play in wind. As soon as it's windy back home I try to go out and practice, go out and play, and really get my tool bag -- I always consider my golf shots my tool bag -- bigger, and just figuring out what works and doesn't work in the wind.
But just take advantage of the windy day.
Q. You're around Orlando, right?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Yeah.
Q. You get a lot of wind.
MADELENE SAGSTROM: Yeah, it can get -- not like today.
Q. Four back. What's the mindset heading into the weekend on a golf course you can really go low?
MADELENE SAGSTROM: I think I've looked at the weather forecast. Supposed to be less wind, nice conditions, so I think -- I mean, you just got to make birdies. It's going to be low. Hopefully you get on a run, get the putter rolling, just keep hitting the shots, keep hitting the fairways.
It's not rocket science.
