Quick Quotes

Q. All right here with Lauren after another victory; taking it to 18 once again. Can you just talk about those emotions, especially in those last six holes?

LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, again, I just felt like I was playing really well all day today. Ariya just didn't seem to make very many mistakes there to start. She made a lot of really good putts for par and hit it really close on the first hole.

I just kind of hung in there.

This course is super tough and you kind of have to miss in a lot of the really good places. If not, you can have some really difficult chips, up and downs. I feel like my caddie and I have done a really good job managing that, especially coming down the stretch the last few holes.

I've been lucky that 17 has been a really good number for me all week. I'm not fighting between clubs, because it's a really small green. And, yeah, I think I've just started to get into a groove and just get really focused there towards the end.

I've just gotten everything seemed to go my way there at the end.

Q. Talk about that pitch chip on 16. Looked like you thought it was going in.

LAUREN COUGHLIN: I did. From my angle looked like it might curl in. I don't know how close it was. Yeah, it was, again, don't really want to be long left. Kind of Kurt and I, my caddie, were like, yeah, if it gets in that bunker or anywhere in that area it's kind of fine. You can use the slope to bring it down in.

And so, yeah, as soon as I hit it I knew I put a really good chip on it. Yeah, almost went in.

Q. What's it been like having Kurt on the bag?

LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, he is super calm and steady, kind of the same all the time. He is pretty funny, too. It's our third week working together, so off to a pretty good start.

Q. You'll face Madelene in the championship match. Have you guys played together? I didn't know if there were any Solheim Cup matches you ever played. Do you know anything about her in particular?

LAUREN COUGHLIN: No, I haven't played against Madelene, but I played practice rounds and been paired with her a few times. She hits it very, very far. That's a big advantage out here.

Again, I'm just going to play my game and see what happens.
