Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Jodi Ewart Shadoff. It's not really moving day yet, but you made a move today. 6-under, bogey-free. Walk me through that round.

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, you know, yesterday I actually played pretty decent. I just made a couple mistakes and missed couple putts.

So I just played very similar today but putts were dropping. I made a couple nice birdies and took advantage of a couple of the par-5s.

So, yeah, it was a good day.

Q. And I know sometimes they just don't fall, but adjustment-wise anything you might have made?

JODI EWART SHADOFF: No, just, I mean, you know, I played really well yesterday and just the putts weren't dropping. I hit a couple shots that I didn't really like, so I worked a little bit on the range on my swing. But other than that, just very similar to yesterday.

Q. Started the season obviously at Hilton, but here, second event. How much confidence are you playing with now? Got the monkey off your back and come into a season fresh and ready to go.

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, you know, be nice to just get into the swing of things. I think just kind of get momentum going with tournament golf.

I played Hilton four weeks ago and now it's kind of like restarting the season, dusting off the rust a little bit, and seeing where I am. Yeah, no, it's nice to get that win finally, and try and push for the next one.

Q. In that quote, unquote second off-season, did you and Grant work on anything in particular?

JODI EWART SHADOFF: No. I mean, just the usual: Short game, putting, and just keeping my swing where it's at and just kind of working on maintaining.

So nothing major, but, yeah.

Q. Golf still to be played, but in the mix heading into the weekend. What's the mindset?

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Just keep doing what I'm doing. I'm playing really nicely. I actually really like playing around here. It's a fun course. It sets up really nice for people who are good ball strikers, and so I think it sets up well for me. Hitting a lot of fairways, too, so I think that definitely helps.

Q. How are you managing the heat? Trying to keep the energy levels up I'm sure.

JODI EWART SHADOFF: Yeah, just trying to drink a lot of water and keep the calories on. Yeah, that's about it.

But it is a bit of an adjustment from the 75 degree weather in Orlando during the off-season.
