Quick Quotes

Q. Leona, 1-under round to wiggle into the top 20. How satisfied are you?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, felt like I played really well. It was really tough there, especially on the front nine. It was rainy, it was gusty, it was pretty miserable out there.

Yeah, made the most of what I had.

Q. How will6 the players this afternoon going to handle these conditions, and what advice can you give us at home as to how challenging...

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, I mean, I think they definitely got the better end of the draw. It's supposed to drop a little bit as the day goes on. It's a lot of crosswinds out there today as opposed to a lot more straight in, straight down, so it's definitely tricky on those crosswinds.

There is a lot of tees up, so I would imagine there be a couple of low scores this afternoon.

Q. Outside the ropes for a bit; we're very close to home. How nice is it to have an event right in your backyard?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, nice to have two back-to-back events almost on home soil, so nice to have a few people braving being the elements to come out and watch, and we'll enjoy one more day tomorrow.

Q. Weather holds up, think we can get few more friends and family out here tomorrow?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, hopefully. I think hats off to (indiscernible). Came out this morning in that pretty miserable weather, but Irish fans are always good to come out and support.
