Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Steph after her final round here at the Black Desert Resort. I mean, just take us through the albatross on 18.

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, I mean, I just nailed my driver, my second shot. Second shot was actually a pretty good number. It was 212 meters to the flag and my 5-wood carries like 195, so it just landed short, bounced up.

I was just trying to hit on the green to be honest. Then I smoked it and it went in. But like I kind of stopped watching it and every win was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, and then they cheered.

I was like, oh, that's pretty good.

Q. Yeah. How do you take a finish like that -- I don't know if you're going to Mizuho, Mayakoba -- how do you take the excitement into the following week?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: I don't know. I mean, if I do that again in my career I'll be very surprised, so I'm just like trying to take it all in now. I'm sure I might be talking about it, so I'm just going to kind of brace the attention a little bit.

Q. You got clapped up the fairway there.

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah.

Q. Saw you waving at the crowd. Was it is fun to enjoy that moment with the crowd out here?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, it was good. I think 18 was a great hole to do it on. Yeah, they loved it. Made me love it even more. So yeah, it was good.

Q. I guess you never had an albatross in your life, right?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Well, I have but it's back at home so doesn't really count. It's not the same. Well, it does but in a tournament, on camera, there is proof.

You know, like I can now say I've definitely had an albatross.

Q. Are you an albatross or double eagle?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: No, albatross, yeah. Too many words.

Q. Just summarize your week here, the golf, the experience of Black Desert Resort.

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, this week has been unreal. The views, staying on site, what the tournament has done for us, the charter flight, everything. It's just been super easy to get goat to.

Like the course is unreal. I've never seen anything like it. It's kind of intimidating because if you miss the fairway you're pretty much reloading.

But other than that, everything else is unreal.
