ALEXA PANO: I've kind of been saying that I really wanted to win this event because it's on my birthday. My best friend can contest it's been for like two months. It feels so surreal that it's happened.

Q. Not only has it happened, you had your dad alongside you. It's been a challenging week all around. You didn't have clubs or clothes. Could you describe this amazing week?

ALEXA PANO: Yeah, it's been a little bit crazy, but all worth it.

Q. And to have dad there beside you must be really special as well.

ALEXA PANO: Yeah, it is. I mean, just feels so surreal right now. I can't actually process that that just happened.

Q. What about the fact that you are the youngest LPGA and LET champion of the year so far? That must be pretty special as well.

ALEXA PANO: Yeah, that's pretty cool. Was almost 18 but I guess I'm just better at 19. (Laughter.)

Q. Once again, happy birthday and welcome to the big stage.

ALEXA PANO: Thank you so much.
