Q. The weather has been quite hot. Is it more physically or mentally exhausting for you through three rounds of intense match play?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: I was thinking it was going to be physically because of the heat, but I think now I'm mostly mentally tired.

Q. You played really well at Cognizant Founders Cup. You also have one win; searching for the second. You're playing more consistently good golf than did you maybe at different stretches of your career. Are you at the point now when you show up to an event you feel like you have a good chance to get in contention each week?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: I think so. I've really worked hard on that consistency part. I knew I had the highs, but the lows have been a little bit too low. Me and Shane have really been working on the last couple years of how do we step up when you're not playing great. Like how can you still grind it through. Like I wasn't playing great today but I still grinded my way through and made some birdies coming in.

So it's just finding that -- finding how you keep that balance between good is good but bad isn't bad.

Q. You told me you're staying on the strip like so many of the players, one the MGM properties, the beautiful Vdara. There is a lot of things to do on the strip in Las Vegas, but you have big plans for the night. What are they?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: Well, tonight I'm just going to order in and just -- uber eats and stay in my room I think and just save as much energy for tomorrow as possible.
