Quick Quotes

Q. With Lauren Stephenson after a round of 4-under, total of 6-under after her round at Galgorm. How did find that this morning? First group out, so had good conditions?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Yeah, the weather was really nice, kind of cool this morning but beautiful. Didn't expect to get sunny and 75 in Ireland, so it's been really nice.

Got off to a good start and kind of enjoyed my morning.

Q. How did you find your game today? I heard your caddie going through the stats and there were lots of fairways and greens. Was it kind of easy golf out there for you?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Yeah, pretty easy. We had three or four tap-in birdies, so we like those. Those are easy. And then kind of grinded it out when I needed to just to keep the momentum going.

Yeah, overall stress-free day. Those are always nice.

Q. How do you find it going from Massareene to Galgorm? Did you do anything in particular to prepare or was it just about changing the mindset with a different golf course?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Yeah, just having a different game plan; two totally different layouts. I found the greens pretty similar. Wasn't a drastic change, which was nice. Didn't have to do much work there.

Pretty comfortable. Just getting good lines off the tees and knowing where you need to hit it was the key.

Q. Heading into the weekend what's the plan?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Just have fun. Keep enjoying golf. Just keep being free. I'm just enjoying my time so looking forward to it.
