RICOH WOMEN’S BRITISH OPENJuly 28, 2016Mo MartinWoburn, England Q. I think 4-under par is quite a great start to the week? MO MARTIN: I'm happy with it. Q. How does it feel to be back at this championship injury-free? MO MARTIN: I'm always so happy to be back here. Clearly a lot of good memories. Got a text from my mom this morning saying she polished my trophy and she was thinking good thoughts. I thought that was really sweet. Really nice to be back. I love the way that the LGU sets up the golf course. I think they do a really good job of keeping it challenging, but fair. And we had in the morning, it was really nice weather. I thought the rain was going to come in a little bit more than it did. Sprinkled on us for two or three holes but wasn't bad. So I think I'm happy to get away with just a little bit of rain this afternoon. But yeah, good golf course, a departure from typical links-style, but we are still here in England. Good memories. Q. Four birdies and no dropped shots. MO MARTIN: No bogeys. Q. What was the sort of secret to success? MO MARTIN: Yeah, I hit it really well. I spent the last couple months with Jamie mulligan down in Long Beach working on my putting. I've known him for a long time now, and so I think we're starting to make some breakthroughs with my putting. I just think it's been a real consistent year ball-striking. I had to change my grip after I was injured a couple years ago. Shortened my thumb. Q. Changing up on the swing? MO MARTIN: On the swing. After I did that, I got into a really good rhythm of ball-striking, and then I just think now, I think putting is coming together, because still I changed the short putter three, 3 1/2 years ago. So I'm still hammering out all the details. But I think once I get it done, I think I'll be an even better putter than I was before. Q. You touched on it, saying how special a championship it is how; how does it feel not to be at a links course and at Woburn, tree-lined? MO MARTIN: I talked to Charley about it, Charley's home course from what I understand. Charley's been really friendly, she's great. She said it's definitely an American-style course, and that's all I heard coming over here. I was a little bit disappointed to hear that in the beginning, just because I love the creativity that links brings out. I love the challenge of that specifically. But I really like the golf course. I can't say a bad thing about it. I think it's really pretty. Parts of it remind me of the Pacific Northwest. But then you have some of the bunkering that reminds me of links, too. So it's definitely a departure from links, but I'm really enjoying it. I think it's a great golf course and I think it was a good choice to hold it here. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
