Q. Rose, what a terrific way to finish with that 20-foot birdie putt on 18. Round of 68. You've got to be pleased with how you bounced back.

ROSE ZHANG: Certainly. When you're out here you really have to be throwing darts and firing on all cylinders. When you make a mistake it's how you stay composed and come back to it.

So I'm really glad how I fought, and I felt like it was a really good way to finish.

Q. Got a new caddie on the bag this week. Ollie Brett who worked fro many years with Danielle Kang, and this year with Mike Weir on the Champions Tour. Looked like you're having a lot fun out there.

ROSE ZHANG: I'm having so much fun. Ollie is incredible. I knew he was a great person to begin with, so when we kind of got together and talked a little bit about the game, I just felt like everything clicked, and I'm really happy that he's on my bag this week. We're just having a good time.

Q. You've had a phenomenal year. You won your first event as a professional four months ago, three major Top 10s. You were in school only a few months ago. Can you describe what a whirlwind it's been.

ROSE ZHANG: It's been crazy. If I think back, there is a lot of things that happened. Even though you're trying to stay in the present and live in the present, there is still a lot to be thankful for, a lot to be blessed about.

I'm just really happy about how the year went. I still have a couple events to finish out the year, so really just looking forward to that and then a little bit of time off before I head back to school.
