MEIJER LPGA CLASSIC


June 16, 2022


Isi Gabsa


Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

Blythefield Country Club

Press Conference


Q. Here with Isi Gabsa coming off her round at the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give. Shot a 4-under today; pretty solid round. Just tell me some of the highlights today.

ISI GABSA: My speed control on the greens were really good, where I was just anywhere on the green I could just know I'm going to two-putt this because it's like two feet.

Pretty good speed on the greens, and then I made a long putt on the par-3, on 7, and, yeah, that kind of kept on going to like the 8th with a great shot into the green and then two-putt birdie again.

Yeah, that was great.

Q. Yeah, I saw you sort of favored the front nine today, which was your back nine.

ISI GABSA: Yeah.

Q. What was easy about that?

ISI GABSA: Just like staying patient, and I've been putting like all day good and just staying in rhythm and patient, and then couple of putts dropped and kind of kept on going from there.

Q. We talked at ShopRite. You had a really good round there. What did you carry from last week that you're bringing into here?

ISI GABSA: Just I got a little bit quick, and I noticed that at ShopRite, that I do start to get quick.

My caddie and I talked about that and just staying like with the rhythm through my swing and trusting it that it will work out at ShopRite and here again, so that's like awesome.

Q. What do you mean by you get quick? You're playing quicker?

ISI GABSA: My backswing gets quick and short and then I just don't have enough time to either like I'm going to close my club face or open it.

So I need a little bit more time and then it works, yeah.

Q. So obviously a bogey-free round. How much confidence does that give you, new course, again, for setting the table for the next three rounds, the rest of the tournament?

ISI GABSA: You kind of have to take it one day at a time, one hole at a time. I always feel like if you think about, oh, it's going to be a bogey-free round you're going to bogey.

So you kind of want to say just next shot and next hole, that you don't get ahead of yourself. Definitely it's a confidence booster for the next couple days, but you just, yeah, have to stay patient and like one shot at a time.

Q. Three days of golf ahead of you. What's the strategy after today?

ISI GABSA: Just same thing: Just slow for my long stuff, some speed control on the greens, because I think it's a big part on this golf course to have good speed control on the greens, and then just take it one shot at a time.
