Quick Quotes

Q. That was a nice string of birdies there at the end.

ALANA URIELL: Thanks.

Q. Like five in a row there at the end.

ALANA URIELL: Yeah, it started on 15, I think.

Q. I got your scorecard here. 14.

ALANA URIELL: 14, thank you.

Q. Yeah.

ALANA URIELL: Started on 14. Yeah, my putter just today felt hot. I was reading things really well and been working on speed a lot this week, so I think that all kind of came together.

Then also we were like in a later group and it was getting dark and I knew that we had to finish, so I was like, Just choose it and trust it, and that really inspired the last few holes.

Q. Do you think that helped you then, just putting all your trust in what you knew, because you knew you wanted to get done?

ALANA URIELL: Yeah, you know, I think I'm learning to trust my instincts a little bit better, and that's what I did coming down the line, saying, This is what it feels like; I'm going to go with it.

Q. I've heard great things about these greens. Did that help you as well?

ALANA URIELL: Yeah, I love these greens. They roll so true and like there is a lot of cool undulation to it that I find really fun. When you work on your speed it's fun, I guess. For some people it's not. Yeah, they're rolling really true and they're fun.

Q. It is also a heck of a long walk, good workout, and we're going to have some rain this weekend. What do you think the challenge will be this weekend to keep that up?

ALANA URIELL: Well, I am glad that I hit legs last week and not this week. I would say the big challenge is just going to have to be stay patient and keep things dry and don't tire yourself out too much worrying about what could be or what just happened.
