Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Maja Stark, moving day. Talk about your day, please.

MAJA STARK: Wasn't the best. I think maybe a lot of you noticed that my irons weren't very good today. I'm very proud of the way I putted and my short game worked very well, so I am feeling like my old self where I can -- I don't have to hit that many good shots to actually score well.

Q. Final group tomorrow. What will you do to prepare for tomorrow's final match?

MAJA STARK: I'm just going to do the same thing as I have done. I don't feel like the other days I've done anything different, so I'm just going to go work out after this, practice a little bit, and then try to get some sleep.

Q. Which hole impressed you the most in the competition today?

MAJA STARK: Like the way I played or the hole?

Q. The way you played. Your favorite birdie out there.

MAJA STARK: Maybe 9. Was kind of a narrow opening to that green, so happy I got it on there and almost made the eagle putt.

Q. What is your strategy for tomorrow's competition?

MAJA STARK: I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing, and hopefully the nerves don't get in my way. But if I learned something from playing in Solheim, it's that nerves often do me well.

So just going to try to embrace it.

Q. Now you tied the lead Angel Yin. Have you ever played with her before in the final group on the final day?

MAJA STARK: I don't think I have. I'm trying to remember if I have played with her at all.

Q. Yes or no?

MAJA STARK: I don't think so.

Q. So are you looking forward to playing with her?

MAJA STARK: Yes.

Q. It's going to be a tough day.

MAJA STARK: Yeah, she's very fun. I like her caddie, so hopefully going to be a fun day.

Q. It's like Solheim Cup, right, versus America?

MAJA STARK: Yes.
