BUICK LPGA SHANGHAI


October 20, 2018


Jodi Ewart Shadoff


Shanghai, China

(In progress.)

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Like the club that I finished, like on the 7-iron, and they came up short of the ridge. Decided go with an easy 6 and landed on top of the slope and just kind of rolled down into the role.

Q. How many hole in ones...
JODI EWART SHADOFF: This is my 9th hole in one.

Q. (Indiscernible.)
JODI EWART SHADOFF: No, no, unfortunately, and no prizes.

Q. (Indiscernible.)
JODI EWART SHADOFF: I have no idea actually. I just had one in the practice round in Korea last week, too.

Q. Really?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah. So it's my second hole in one in 11 days.

Q. Is it just by chance?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: No, not really. Definitely striking the ball better than what I have done pretty much all year.

So, yeah, had a couple looks today on other shots too. It was good.

Q. Any particular reason you think you're striking it better?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: I actually switched irons before coming to Asia. New shafts, different heads, a little bit of a heavier shaft, a little bit stiffer.

Just I think my old irons were just a little bit too weak for me. I was struggling to control them.

Q. What do you switch from specifically?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: I came from a TaylorMade PSI iron with a Kuro Kage shaft, and I'm now in a Titleist AP2 with a Lunist shaft. Couple degrees heavier, couple grams heavier.

Q. First time playing with Titleist irons?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: No, I actually pretty much played Titleist my whole career until maybe just after I graduated college.

I played the same irons, TaylorMade irons, for the past three years. Just kind of like going out of my comfort zone, but decided it needed to be done.

Q. And I was talking to your husband. What's it like having him over here?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: It's cool. Yeah, I've been out here for almost three weeks now. It's nice to have some company. Shanghai is such a cool city, so we've been exploring a little bit so it's been nice.

Q. He says he tries to come over like once a year.
JODI EWART SHADOFF: Usually when I'm over here in Asia he'll come in the middle of it, kind of break it up.

Q. And you also had a huge eagle putt, right?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, on 17. I think my caddie said it was 65, 70 feet. Yeah, two eagles in one round.

Q. First time two eagles?
JODI EWART SHADOFF: No. Actually. Maybe my second time.
