Q. Here with Liyana. Minus-4 today. Pretty good showing I think. Talk us through your round.
LIYANA DURISIC: Round went well. I started off really well and just tried to stay in there and not trying anything heroic or anything different. Just trying to hit greens, fairways, and then two-putt. Then if a birdie comes, that's great. If it doesn't, that's fine, move on. Just really kept myself mentally steady throughout the round.
Q. Something must have been working exceptionally well today.
LIYANA DURISIC: Yeah, my putting was brilliant today. Thankfully, because putting over here is like -- the greens are very slick and putting is very important.
So putting worked really well, worked in my favor today. So, yeah.
Q. So it's a second year here and also another year of being professional. How do you compare yourself from last year to this year?
LIYANA DURISIC: Last year I think it was just a rookie start. I was nervous. Didn't really have that much experience. Obviously coming in with like three wins and stuff, it kind of just gives me a boost of confidence. Hey, you deserve to be here. You can play well.
Today just shows that.
Q. Dropped one shot. One bogey.
LIYANA DURISIC: Yes, I did. I don't really remember that bogey actually. Yeah, I don't really remember that bogey. I'm so sorry. That's a good thing I guess.
Yeah, I don't remember it. Sorry.
Q. So what's the game plan for tomorrow?
LIYANA DURISIC: Same thing. Just fairway, green, two putts, and then if I get a birdie, that's great. If I don't, that's fine. Get a par, move on. Just chin up, be mentally steady, and should work just fine.
Q. So compare yourself to last year's first day, first day this year is much better.
LIYANA DURISIC: Oh, yeah, definitely. Just felt very, I've been here before. I know I can do it. Just go out there and have fun.
Q. So when you crossed over you had two birdies and then just series of pars.
LIYANA DURISIC: Yes.
Q. (Indiscernible.)
LIYANA DURISIC: After those birdies I was just like, okay, if another birdie comes, that's great. If it doesn't, pars are still so good on this course. I just -- I was really patient, and if it does come, that's great. If it doesn't, it's okay. Pars are good.
Q. How do you feel about having your coach on your bag this week?
LIYANA DURISIC: I feel like he knows my game just as well as my brother did last year. He knows where to miss it and he gives me very good advice and he knows like how my swing works and everything. So I feel like it's just very -- it's a very good -- he complements my game, you know, yeah.
