WEGMANS LPGA CHAMPIONSHIP


August 15, 2014


Lydia Ko


PITTSFORD, NEW YORK

Q.  Talk about where you are and how you're in pretty good shape?
LYDIA KO:  I think I'm in a good position.  The overnight leaders are just getting started.  I know that I've put myself in a good position for the weekend.

Q.  Everybody's talking about conditions, but everybody's talking about the wind.  Can you talk about how you dealt with it today?
LYDIA KO:  You think when you play in the morning you might not get the wind, but we had win from hole one and it kind of continued that way.  I think that's what the forecast is.  I think we didn't have a tournament where there was no wind, so it would be stranger if there wasn't.  I guess wind is just part of playing.

Q.  Does it feel different this year to last year in Rochester being an amateur and now a professional?  Is there more pressure this year?
LYDIA KO:  Not really.  I'm just trying to take the game as it is.  I'm still playing the same sport and just enjoying it.  I've put myself in a good position compared to last year.  I kind of just made the cut and tried to go from there.

Q.  We look at you as a professional, but at the same time a 17‑year‑old.  Do you still feel like a teenager or do you feel like you're a grown up?
LYDIA KO:  When I'm on the course, I don't know what age I am.  I know I make some dumb, clumsy mistakes and then I go, there you go.  That 17‑year‑old is coming out.  But when I'm off course watching TV and I just feel like a normal teenager just doing the teenage things.

Q.  You're so new at this as a pro.  Does a major championship feel different to you?  You've been in them, but does it feel any different this week where you are now going into the weekend?
LYDIA KO:  Like this year I didn't really have an opportunity where I put myself in a good position for the weekend, but I think this week I'm playing pretty good, I'm pretty confident.  It's good to be in this position, but I got the opportunity to play in some majors last year, and that's definitely helping me with the pressure.
