Quick Quotes

JENNIFER SONG:

Q. All right, joined by Jennifer Song after her first round here at Q-Series. What was the mindset as you headed into this week?

JENNIFER SONG: Just I was playing well coming into the week, so I just told myself just be myself out there and just have fun.

Thankfully I have my best friend on my bag. With the whole atmosphere I think she made me really feel comfortable, and we were actually talking how it just feels like practice rounds back home.

So I felt comfortable out there and just played my game.

Q. We'll talk about Amy a little bit later on. How would you assess your round? You had the five birdies; couple bogeys here and there.

JENNIFER SONG: I think I played amazing. Weather was really cold being the first team. The ball wasn't going anywhere, but I just tried to be patient out there and kept myself in play. I think I did exactly what I needed to do for the first round.

Q. How was it preparing for potentially six rounds compared to a normal three- or four-round event?

JENNIFER SONG: I think just not get ahead of myself and just stay patient.

You know, even though I may make couple bogeys here and there, that's not the end of the world. It's a long round. I'm just thinking of this game as a marathon right now.

Q. You mentioned a little bit ago just having Amy on your bag. What does that mean for and to have that calming presence, like you said, your best friend?

JENNIFER SONG: Yeah, we had a lot of fun out there. We were talking about everything but golf. We were just, what should we eat? It's so cold. We were snacking a lot and just talking a lot of things other than golf.

Q. Do you think this helps you? Couple players I talked with before, they say they always play their best game when they're not thinking about the golf. You see that as a little bit of an advantage this week?

JENNIFER SONG: Yeah, because we need to relax. We only time we need to focus is when we are doing our routine. So getting our mind slightly out of it while we're walking, I think this helps a lot ease the tension. We're just having fun out there.
