Quick Quotes

Q. Can you just kind of start by walking us through your performance. Obviously a struggle there at the end. Just walk through it.

HANNAH DARLING: Obviously not how I wanted the day to go, but overall I felt like I hit a lot of good shots, just maybe wasn't fully rewarded for all of them.

But that's golf, and tomorrow's a new day. So excited to get out here tomorrow.

Q. Can you specifically walk me through hole 17, that double bogey, just kind of how that was looking there once you got on the green?

HANNAH DARLING: Yeah, I hit it in the left bunker and actually hit a really good bunker shot but just stayed up on the tier and didn't catch the slope.

Then, yeah, three-putted. Those happen.

Q. What does kind of a recovery look like and kind of getting back into it tomorrow and learning from today?

HANNAH DARLING: I think just let today go in one ear and out the other and just forget about it. Go do a little bit of practice and recover and make sure the body's in a really good place.

Then get some food and some sleep. Those are the most important things.

Q. How much help is it knowing that you've got two teammates that are also competing and you can kind of meet with them after this and kind of talk about the day? How much is that helping you?

HANNAH DARLING: It's awesome. To have three of us representing South Carolina, it's really cool. We're all in a really good place. So, yeah, it's just really nice to have South Carolina represented in that way.

Q. Kind of building off that, in general, what does it mean to you to represent the Gamecocks at such a big event like this?

HANNAH DARLING: It's awesome. I love representing South Carolina. Obviously I'm a senior, so I'll be graduating in a couple months. I've really loved my time there. So any time that I can represent them or give back in any way is really awesome, yes.

Q. Like she kind of mentioned, your teammates are here, and they'll be able to support you after this round is over. What does it mean to have them by your side kind of throughout?

HANNAH DARLING: I think the main thing is they're some of my best friends for starters. We're friends, and that's the main thing.

Having people to be with and to talk with afterwards and we'll probably not even talk about golf, which is really nice. You can just completely get your mind off of the day and just kind of refocus.
