Q. A renewed outlook has now lifted you to back-to-back victories on the LPGA Tour and your first major championship. Can you describe the emotions of having won your first major?

NELLY KORDA: I don't know, it hasn't hit yet. It'll sink in, but honestly unbelievable the crowd here today was amazing, and they made it so special.

Q. We talked earlier this week, you talked about just being in the zone, almost blacking out. What was the mindset like out there today for you?

NELLY KORDA: I'm not going to lie, it wasn't easy. I had to remind myself to breathe a lot. But thankfully I have such a great caddie. Jason helped me calm down. I hit it into the water on 15, and I was pretty upset there, but he pretty much punched me and was like, Come on, Bud, why are you so down? I just have a great caddie.

Q. You're projected to move to No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings with your victory. What's your reaction to hearing that news?
