The Saticoy Club

Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Jodi Ewart Shadoff. Right now again the clubhouse leader for a second day so far. Just take me through some of your thoughts after round two here at Saticoy.

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, I feel really good. Playing really consistent, and I feel really in control of my game. Just staying in my routine and hitting some good shots, rolling in the putts, so everything seems to be going well so far.

Q. Got off to a hot start.

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah.

Q. Take me through the birdies at the beginning of the round.

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, nice couple birdies on 1 and 2, so that was a really nice start. Yeah, hit it really close on 4, so, 3-under through four holes is a very quick start.

Turned at 4-under, so I was good. The wind started to pick up a little bit on the back nine, which is a little bit tricky, but, yeah, I played really well again today, and, yeah, hopefully do the same at the weekend.

Q. Sometimes physically and mentally it's hard to come out shooting like you did yesterday, and to be able to replicate that, are you satisfied with the way that you were able to bounce back after some of those bogeys on the back nine?

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, definitely. I mean, shooting such a low number yesterday, you can't expect to go out there and do that, shoot another 8-, 9-under again.

So I think I just played very similar today to yesterday. Couple putts here and there just didn't fall. Overall I'm striking the ball well, hitting a lot of fairways, which I think is key out here.

Just putting it into the right parts of the greens, which definitely helps.

Q. I was going to ask, you talked a little bit about being consistent. That you're feeling consistent. How important is consistency on a course like Saticoy where the greens are complicated, it's challenging all the way around?

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, I mean, the green complexes are very tough and it's important to be in the right parts of the greens to specific pins.

I hit the ball pretty good, so I feel really comfortable with how I'm swinging it this week. I seem to be -- I feel in control of my swing and how I'm hitting the ball.

I think that definitely helps the confidence going into the weekend.

Q. When you were able to shoot 8-under, did you think 8-under was out there when you were preparing for yesterday?

JODI EWART SHADOFF: It was hard to tell really. I mean, I've only seen it once, so I think probably not.

But, you know, I guess it is possible.

Q. You'll have a whole afternoon and hopefully a little bit of a lot of the morning to be able to rest.

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah.

Q. What will you do to focus on this consistency you have through moving day?

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, I think it's going to be nice just to have a little bit of a rest going into tomorrow. It's not an easy walk around here, so definitely helps having a full day to prepare for tomorrow.

So...
