Q. Here with Gemma Dryburgh after a phenomenal bogey-free 7-under from you. What was the key to success out there today?
GEMMA DRYBURGH: I think I hit every green today so this always helps. Just didn't really have any stressful putts out there which was nice.
Just kept it going and obviously nice to birdie the last and finish on a high.
Q. Obviously heat is going to play a huge focus tore this week. What's kind of the keys to maintaining your energy and making sure you're ready for Sunday?
GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, so I've got a little ice pack that I was filling up out there just kind of dabbing my face. Yeah, put the umbrella up as well. Keep in the shade as much as possible.
Yeah, it's very important to conserve the energy when you can and stand in the shade as much as possible. That's going to be a key this week for sure.
Q. How does this course suit your game?
GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, I mean, I've played really here in the past. Couple years ago finished top 10. So suits my eye.
There is not really a hole-out there that kind of -- you know there is always a hole usually that's like, oh, nervous for that one. Seem to like every hole out here. I like how the greens are kind of similar to where I play in New Orleans, grainy.
So, yeah, it kind of suits my eye.
Q. Seven birdies, something must be going right. What was it?
GEMMA DRYBURGH: I was very consistent off the tee and hit some nice iron shots and the putting, I was seeing the lines on the greens, so kind of got a good look yesterday in the pro-am, and didn't quite putt as well yesterday.
So I felt like I learned a lot from that yesterday.
Q. Obviously huge announcement on Instagram. Congratulations. Just talk through the excitement, how you're preparing for motherhood.
GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, so little one on the way. Christmas Eve they're due. Yeah, looking forward to that. It's going to change my life considerably. Looking forward to it.
It's just kind of excited for the offseason to come in a few weeks. So get ready for that.
Q. Yeah. Tons of moms on our Tour obviously. Have you gotten to pick their brains? Any advice given to you?
GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, definitely picked their brains. They've been so nice to us to see what it's like on Tour and prepare us for that. Obviously the daycare we have on Tour, so we will be using that as well which will be really helpful.
Yeah, probably picking their brains even more once it comes along.
