LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY HOAKALEI


April 11, 2022


Anna Nordqvist


Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii, USA

Hoakalei Country Club

Press Conference


Q. All right, Anna, it's always good to be back here in the beautiful islands. I know you had a break since Chevron and good to be here in Hawaii. How are you feeling right now?

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, I mean, I'm excited to be back. I haven't really played the last couple years in Hawaii because I just wasn't a big fan of the other golf course.

But then went to Maui (indiscernible) last year and went to the Big Island last week, so got a little bit better (indiscernible) from Hawaii, so I'm actually excited to be here.

I think this golf course is better than the one -- I didn't play last year obviously, but, yeah, it's just nice to be back.

Q. What do you think about this course? It's long, it's big, first time seeing it.

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, it's a long walk. I feel like it has a lot of -- quite a bit of character. There is a lot of good holes. There is a few tough ones, especially some of the par-3s because it's playing downwind and the greens are sloping. This is kind of hard to hole them a little bit.

But in general, I feel like it's a beautiful place and, yeah, I enjoyed playing the course today.

Q. What do you like about coming to Hawaii?

ANNA NORDQVIST: I think what I notice, I mean, it's obviously a little bit more the island life, but I notice it more a little bit in Maui and the Big Island is a lot more relax and laid back and people aren't really stressing and running around as much.

It's obviously a little bit more intense on this island. Like coming and trying to get a rental car and waiting an hour and a half yesterday wasn't the most fun start to the trip, but food is good, obviously the scenery is really beautiful, and you can do as much as you want.

I have a 7:00 a.m. pro-am tomorrow so I can do whatever I want tomorrow afternoon, and I'm done just after lunch today. I feel like it's a good week to mix a little bit of vacation and work.

Q. Are you a go-to-the-beach kind of person or are you a go-hike kind of person?

ANNA NORDQVIST: I would say I'm probably more after hiker, but I love just going down and sit by the beach more than just trying get a tan.

Q. How do you feel coming into the week? How is the game?

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, I feel a little bit better. I was very frustrated with my putting both in Carlsbad and Chevron. Basically I think I had 34, 35, 36 putts the last three days, which wasn't the best.

So I feel like I've done a lot of good things. Just hasn't really paid off at all. So hopefully I can keep going in the right direction.
