Q. Nelly, what a day that was. At one point it looked really tough out there for you. You were fighting everything. What did you do to turn it around though?

NELLY KORDA: Gosh, I thought that the tournament was over going into 17. I just kind of gave myself a chance. I knew that if I rolled that eagle in I had to birdie the last hole.

Yeah, I seem to always make it very dramatic and interesting, so there is no better feeling than to do it in front of a home crowd.

What a day.

Q. Everybody says winning in front of your home crowd is the best. What makes it so special for you?

NELLY KORDA: I think even when I was down they were so, so positive and keeping me in it. It was such a grind out there, so back and forth. I felt like I never really got anything going. But, I mean, I just can't even believe it right now.
