Seaview, A Dolce Hotel

Quick Quotes


Q. All right, that was an amazing round you had today. A great 66. You've got to feel pretty happy right now.

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Yeah, I mean, well, I started off like I was 6-under through 9, so I thought, oh, man I got a chance to win this.

But I haven't been in this situation in a while, so I'm happy with how I held myself together when things weren't really going -- were going a little wayward.

Q. When you got up this morning and headed out on the course did you feel you had a 6-under front nine in you?

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Yeah, I did. When I woke up I'm like, I'm ready to go. I feel like my game is good. Like I can't wait. That's the first time I felt that in a while, excited to go and play golf.

I know that sounds bad, but it's been a while.

Q. What was behind today? Are you working on stuff?

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Yeah, I have a really good caddie who has been helping me throughout the year. It's been a lot of up and downs just on and off the golf course.

So it's hard to play good golf when other things aren't going well. So things in life have been good and I think I that made it easier to play better golf.

Q. Tell me about all the birdies. Were you just on fire, feeling comfortable?

JAYE MARIE GREEN: It wasn't even like -- all my putts were right close, so it wasn't like I was making bombs. But, yeah, it was just almost like playing a video game. I was just doing what I wanted to do. I was like, oh, this is fun. Wish it was like this every day.

Q. And then cooled off a bit on the back nine.

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Yeah.

Q. Still one of your best performances in a while. You've got to be proud of yourself.

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Oh, definitely. I feel like knowing I had a chance of winning, given like what I made the turn at, just felt really good to be in that position again. Just happy with a top 10. Really want to get in CME, so I know a top 10 would be helpful.

Q. Does it help playing with someone like Maria who has the fist pumps going and Sei Young who's always so steady?

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Oh, yeah, I love playing with Sei Young, and Maria. Yeah, it's just a good flow group. Having a good group always helps.

Q. Uh-huh.

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Yeah.

Q. What's the biggest takeaway you take from today that you take and move on to next week?

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Just keep doing what I'm doing. I feel like when it's meant for me to win I will. I don't really feel like I did anything wrong, so literally that's what I'm going to do. Just keep doing what I'm doing.

Q. You said you've been working with Jack all year.

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Yeah.

Q. What does he bring to your game?

JAYE MARIE GREEN: He's a lot of fun and he's calm. I know he has my back no matter what. He believes in me, and that really helps. Because I haven't been playing good this year and I know he's probably gotten better offers, but to stick by me -- and he helps me a lot on and off the golf course. He's become like a really good friend.

Q. That helps you on the course?

JAYE MARIE GREEN: Oh, yeah, because I can look at him, and I've had my brother out here, so to look and see your brother, it's like -- he's kind of -- not close to my brother, but he's definitely like I can look at him and really tell him how I'm feeling. He's become a really close friend.
