Quick Quotes

Q. All right, so obviously you guys are friends. You're both super fun and super outgoing. How do you think that's going to help you guys on the course this week?

SARAH WHITE: Yeah, well, we're besties, so...

Beside the point.

So we play a lot of golf together, especially during the season. We play every practice round together. We practice together, and not because our games are very, very similar, but we both have similar mindsets when it comes to attacking a golf course, and we are both very, very honest and open with each other.

That's just what our friendship is, is, you know, like if I am like, dude, I have no idea where this is breaking, there is no judgment from her being like, okay, totally fine.

And then same thing with her. If she's like, I have no idea how to hit this shot, then I can step in. That's just what our friendship has been about since day one, so just knowing that someone that knows my golf game like the back of their hand and vice versa, like I know what she would do on this hole, just kind of gives a couple different perspectives.

There is not one way to play a golf hole, so having a couple different viewpoints and her bouncing ideas off just really helps.

Q. And then you caddied when she won in Oregon.

SARAH WHITE: Oh, yeah.

Q. So definitely some good mojo there. How does that kind of shape your goals this week, and what are your goals for the week?

SARAH WHITE: So, you know, you don't have to be a hero in Stage II. The goal this week is just to advance, and then more specific goals can come later on.

I think what everyone's goal is is to win. I mean, that's what it is. It's a golf tournament. You want to win. That's one goal in a sense, but it's more of a back burner goal.

So to achieve a big goal you have to set little goals along the way. So like if I want to -- if my goal is to shoot 69, just for an example, what can I do on my drive on No. 10? How can I accomplish a small goal of hitting the fairway? You know what I mean?

So that's kind of how I'm attacking it. Maybe setting some small goals, not very specific goals too focused on score or too focused on hitting the ball, stuff like that.

I just want to have fun. I mean, that's when I play the best golf is when I have fun. So that's my main goal.

Q. Awesome. If you advance it Q-Series do you think you would play in that?

SARAH WHITE: I would play in Q-Series. I think I love the Epson Tour and my goal is to get full Epson Tour status, and if I can play on the LPGA at a couple events that would be cool.

I would love to play the Grand Rapids event, my hometown. But Epson is trending in the right direction and we have gotten to know a lot of the Epson Tour -- you know, from Epson, the liaisons, and I think they have such great ideas. It's just going to take Epson and LPGA to a new level.

So that's my goal, is if I get to Q-Series, awesome. I just want to be able to play Epson again.
