Quote Quotes

Q. Well, your back is against the wall. Tell me a little bit about that shot on 18. She was in there close and you had to respond.

BLAKESLY BROCK: Yeah, I knew I had to hit it in there close because she was close, and that was my only option. I really just took dead aim and just kind of left it all out there. Hit a good one and was able to knock that putt in.

Q. How about the putt? Caddie give you a good read?

BLAKESLY BROCK: He gave me a great read. There's a lot of little subtle breaks out here, and that was one where we just decided on a dead straight line and hit it dead straight and went dead in the middle.

Q. The second playoff hole you kind of just shut the door there, really good iron shot. What did you have in? Were you feeling good over the ball?

BLAKESLY BROCK: Yeah, I think there was a little bit of adrenaline off the tee. That was the best tee shot I've hit all week. I had 113 in and hit a little 48-degree wedge to about two feet, so I was able to get it done.

Q. Do you have a lot of experience -- I hadn't looked back last year. Were you in any extra holes last year?

BLAKESLY BROCK: I had. I had three back-to-back extra-hole matches. This one was a little bit different because I was down and had to come back. Last year I was up in all those matches and kind of let it slide towards the end but was able to pull those out. I think that experience from last year definitely helped me get it done this morning.

Q. How do you deal with the weather delay? How are you going to go back out there and try and pick up where you left off?

BLAKESLY BROCK: Just stay loose. I do a lot of home where I kind of don't warm up before I go play just for situations like this, so I know I'm used to it and I can just come out there swinging. I trust my swing. I know where it is and what I need to do. It won't affect me too much.
