Q. Okay, here with Lindy Duncan after the final round of the Buick LPGA Shanghai. Just a great finish today. Could you speak to today's round?
LINDY DUNCAN: Yeah, I played really well. I hit the ball well good today. Probably one of my better ball striking rounds probably of the year.
I hit driver great. Hit in really good proximity to the hole. Unfortunately I didn't drop as many putts as I would've liked to for a really high finish or to maybe challenge, but it was still a really good day.
Q. You said you've been working a lot with your coach. What are you going to take back to him after today's round?
LINDY DUNCAN: Yeah, the feels that we been working on, like when I'm on the range they feel good and I'm able to do it on the course, so I'm able to keep it really simple, and it's just given me like a better contact with my irons so I can control my distances better.
I was pin high so much, especially the last two days. I really, really struck it well.
Q. What did he talk to you about in the beginning of the week? What was your goals to hit?
LINDY DUNCAN: Yeah, so I was, on the takeaway, just opening the face a little bit too much. So when I get like that at the top, I know the face is open, and so I have to do some type of move to square it up. The move that I make is kind of like an over-the-top, like get quick and pull with my arms.
So just really thinking about keeping the face in a stronger position, which allows me to then clear my body out of the way that we want. And then my body felt good and able to make that move, so it was kind of just give it time at the top and then keep that face in the strong position.
It's weird. It's like the face feels closed but it actually goes higher. It's kind of a backwards thing, but it felt really good.
Q. I saw videos on your story of the wrist thing?
LINDY DUNCAN: Uh-huh.
Q. Is that what that's for?
LINDY DUNCAN: Yeah, the ProSENDR helps a lot with that, because if I rotate my forearms too much then I don't get my wrists in the cradle correctly. So that helps a lot, and I warmed up with it pretty much every day.
Q. And then any other tools you brought with you or drills or anything like that?
LINDY DUNCAN: No. There was no gadgets on the putting green this week. It was just all feel. Yeah, it was just the ProSENDR and some Aim Sticks.
Q. And looking at your numbers the past couple years, this is probably one of your best years on Tour so far. What does that mean after being out here a couple years?
LINDY DUNCAN: It's really cool because I'm pretty old compared to everybody else. You know, try to stay in good shape and still love it, you can play for a long time, and I'm really fortunate that I've been able to do that because I love it.
Yeah, it's really fun.
Q. What can you say then, too, about the younger talent on tour? What you are seeing come up. So many different winners this year. It's been very competitive.
LINDY DUNCAN: Yeah, it's insane. The players are just absolute animals and they are so good and hit it so far and such great putters.
It's really fun to be in the mix because I feel like my game has really improved to get to that level. I think the LPGA is just so competitive and so amazing, so it's great to be here.
Q. And what are you going to take from this week? What's the one thing you think you're going to walk away with?
LINDY DUNCAN: Yeah, I think I had a lot of bounce-back birdies this week I noticed, and especially the first round I made a double on 4 on a par-5. The next hole I made a birdie, and that kind of continued throughout the week. Seems like any time I had an error I kind of came back from it.
So to me that's a really positive thing I'll take away.
