KINGSMILL CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY GEICOMay 20, 2018Lauren CoughlinWilliamsburg, Virginia Q. That last hole leave a bad taste in your mouth? LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, I mean, all day just couldn't really get anything going. It was rough, but played well overall. I'm happy with my overall. Q. Was 17 your best opportunity? LAUREN COUGHLIN: No. I had opportunities -- I mean, on the front nine I had three or four in the first five holes; just didn't drop anything. 17 I had another one. Yeah, same thing that happened on the first day where I just couldn't really get anything going. It's all right. Q. When you think about - I know obviously 18 - but just overall, being here, what is it, your third money check in a row? LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, three cuts in a row. Q. Do you feel like you're trending in the right direction? LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, definitely. Definitely. I'm going to take two weeks off here and get ready to go for the long six-week stretch and hopefully have some good momentum going into that. Q. (Regarding first bogey.) LAUREN COUGHLIN: I hit it right on 11 into the trees; I tried to keep it low under some trees and tried to get it close to the green and I hit the tree like dead center and kicked it -- and actually was fine because I had a good shot to the green. I just barely missed a 15-footer to save par. Q. When did you play here as a junior? All the time? LAUREN COUGHLIN: Not all the time, but, I mean, I played here -- they had an AJGA event here I think summer before my senior year. I think. You'll have to double check that, but I think it was the summer before my senior year of high school. Actually, Brian Bailey, our assistant coach, watched me on the first nine and I shot 40, and then he left and I shot 30 on the back nine. Of course when he wasn't there. But he said he saw enough when I shot 40. I'm like, You missed it. Q. This was the UVA assistant... LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah. He was my assistant coach my first three years. Q. Okay. Is it special to play here as a pro and have your husband -- I mean, that's got to be pretty special for you. LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, no, definitely. It's nice because we have like a two-hour drive home after this. I'll be home by 7:00 and be sleeping in my bed. Yeah, no, it's really nice. I had a bunch of people from -- like, John's mom, my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law came out because they live in Richmond. And then some people from the club that I grew up playing at in Chesapeake came up and watched. So, yeah, I still had a good amount of people who came, which was really cool. My parents couldn't make it, but I at least had some people. Q. Have you thought about your share of the cut and how big it may be this week? Share of the purse, I mean. LAUREN COUGHLIN: What place am I? Probably like 50th, now. Q. Somewhere around there. LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, I'll probably make four or five, something like that. Q. It'll help. LAUREN COUGHLIN: I'll be able to pay my credit card bill. (Laughter.) FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
