Quick Quotes

Q. First of all, how does it feel to start round one 3-under?

KAREN CHUNG: Wow, it was a whirlwind of emotions out there today, but I'm pretty happy with where I finished.

Got to keep it going because there are three more days, so...

Q. I know a lot people have been saying that this week alone is more stressful than two weeks of Q-Series combined. How do you handle the pressure and keep yourself positive and in your own game?

KAREN CHUNG: You know, this week I have been trying to handle this as much as a normal tournament as much as possible, which has been kind of helping me.

But it's definitely still stressful than other weeks. I'll be happy for this week to be over. (Laughter.)

Q. And then I know we talked about at the tour championship that you were really aiming on not being here this week. How do you make the best of that and go out and have fun still and manage all the emotions?

KAREN CHUNG: You know, I was a wreck after Daytona, I'm not going to lie, because I was pretty close to saving myself.

But, you know, I still got to look at it as a learning curve. I try to just kind of take it by how it went and just practiced harder, you know.

Life is just telling me to do better, so that's all I can do.

Q. And then obviously everybody wants to advance, but taking that away from it, what are your goals on the course for this week?

KAREN CHUNG: I'm just trying to be as consistent as possible. I feel like the wind is up this week, too. It felt like Antarctica this morning. I just feel like it's not about who can go the lowest this week, it's just about who can stay more consistent.

So that's my game plan for the week and we'll see where that puts me.
