Quick Quotes

Q. LPGA winner, Linn Grant. Does the reality of winning meet your dreams of winning?

LINN GRANT: Yeah, I've been thinking about it all day. I think I've imagined this day so many times in so many ways in my own mind. No, just being here now, I'm just so speechless and at the same time I feel familiar with the setting for some reason. But it's just so fun.

Q. At the start of the day you had a six-shot lead. How tough was it starting the day knowing that you had such a big lead?

LINN GRANT: I think it was quite, you know, I could be a bit more relaxed, but I also knew that, I mean, this course is very scorable. So, in my mind, I was just thinking that someone was going to shoot the same score I did yesterday. Obviously the conditions are a bit tougher today, but that was my game plan and mindset coming into today.

Q. Was there one point during the course of the day that you thought, I got this, this is my championship now?

LINN GRANT: I don't know. Probably on 17. I felt like I saw Allisen was 17-under and I knew having that birdie putt on 17, if I holed it or not didn't really matter, I had a three-shot lead coming into the last one.

Q. You've had success at the Evian Golf Course. We're going there as our next major. How much confidence does winning here mean that you can take into that major coming up?

LINN GRANT: I feel like I'm in great form at the moment, obviously. I really like that golf course. I played well there both last year and I had a win there this year. So I'm really excited to go back and play there again.
