Quick Quotes

Q. What was better, birdieing Amen Corner or the chip-in?

CAROLINA LOPEZ-CHACARRA: I don't know. I think the chip-in just because I was like looking at it and then I was like, this is hard, so like just want to hit it off the green and just let it roll into the green and just move on.

And then I saw it and I was like, oh, wait. Then it was super fun. After those three birdies it was like even better, so it was super fun.

Q. Did you walk away from Amen Corner saying, that's not so hard?

CAROLINA LOPEZ-CHACARRA: No, I think it really made me hit my best shots of the day and just made a really good putt on 11 and just played really well the other two holes, so definitely required A-game.

Q. I know this is you're fifth year and finally made the cut and did so well on the final round. What does this mean to you?

CAROLINA LOPEZ-CHACARRA: I think it's just fun. I mean, being just here, it's like a gift for all the hard work of the year. Just getting to play Augusta today was really nice with my assistant coach on the bag. We had a blast. I just wanted to enjoy it.

It's my first time here playing Augusta in a competitive round so I just want to make the most of it and take it in.

Q. Now here you are close on the leaderboard did you notice your name on the leaderboard?

CAROLINA LOPEZ-CHACARRA: Honestly not really until I eagled 15. We were standing on 16 tee box and I saw the leaderboard and I was like, oh, that's cool. So, yeah, it was fun.
