AIG WOMEN'S OPEN

Leona Maguire

Mixed Zone

Q. Frustrating day, or pleased with your efforts from the first couple days?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, I mean, played -- tee-to-green, I played really solid today and played way better than I did yesterday, gave myself a lot of chances, just a few three-putts which were a bit of a killer for momentum. And felt like I played well enough to shoot 4-, 5-under, so just those three-putts are kind of what held me back.

Q. Is that just the greens, just try to get used to it this week?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, I mean, some of the pins are sitting on different hills, I felt like they were really slow this afternoon. And some of the putts I felt like I whacked, and they still came up six, seven feet short. So maybe a little bit of an adjustment for tomorrow, I think.

Q. You've made the cut. Obviously the goal is to try to get as high as you can.

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, I mean, I feel like if I play the same way tee-to-green as I did today and omit those three-putts, I'd be well in it at this point. So just more of that and a little bit better press on the greens.

Q. How much are you enjoying it? The crowd looks great.

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, great. Yeah, there's a lot of people out there, a lot of kids out there, so it was nice to see. And then hopefully with the weather being nice enough, then we'll have even more over the weekend.

Q. Any Irish support you feel a little bit?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, there definitely was. There definitely was a few. I think there's a lot of Irish around London, so hopefully there will be a few more out over the weekend.
