U.S. GIRLS' JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP

July 21, 2018

Lucy Li

Pebble Beach, California

Q. The putts didn't fall for you today; you had a pretty good opportunity on 9. Just talk about the putting, just didn't seem to be quite there.
LUCY LI: I don't know, I just think it wasn't meant to be. I hit those putts good, and I made a lot of really good putts on the front nine.

Q. Sum up your week. I know you're very disappointed that you're not going to walk away with the title, but you're medalist, get to the semifinals, furthest you've ever gone in a USGA championship. Talk about your accomplishments this week.
LUCY LI: Definitely. I felt like I played really well this week. Even today, I played really well. Obviously being medalist -- I just really wanted to make it further than I did last year, and I'm really happy for the way I played.

Q. How will you learn from this experience going forward? Obviously you have some big events coming up, the Women's Amateur in a couple weeks, same type of deal, the stroke play/match play.
LUCY LI: Yeah, I'm really excited for the U.S. Am next week. Obviously a lot of confidence from this week coming in because I feel like I'm much more physically strong than I was last year when I was in the quarterfinals of the Women's Am. I have a lot of confidence going into that week, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Q. Talk about the way Alexa played today. She's 13 years old and really has a lot of poise for someone so young.
LUCY LI: Yeah, definitely. We both played really well today. I made a couple of mistakes with my drives coming down the back nine. But I felt like we both played really well. Most of the holes were won with par or birdie, and it was a good match.
