Q. I am pleased to be beside Carlota Ciganda who has just won for the third time on the LPGA Tour. Although it's been a long nine years for you to get this third win, can you put this into words somehow the journey and what it has meant to finally win for that elusive third time?

CARLOTA CIGANDA: Yeah, it feels amazing obviously after all these years. I knew I could do it, but obviously once the years keep going and you start getting older you start doubting yourself.

I think this year I have a great team around me. New caddie which is doing an amazing job, and I'm just very happy to, yeah, with my whole team. I think I with just believe we can do this, and it's been a great year but obviously winning, it's an amazing feeling.

Q. Describe the magic that you feel when you come here to the Meijer and play Blythefield. This is a course that you nearly won on the back in 2016 when I first played here and got a great host family. Talk about the feelings and the positivity you have when you come to the Grand Rapids area?

CARLOTA CIGANDA: I love coming here. It reminds me from Spain where I'm from in the northern part of the Spain. Very similar. Lots of trees, peaceful. I love the golf course. Five par-5s, you can hit it hard here.

So I really like that. And just staying with Bubba and Gretchen the host family for almost ten years, doesn't even feel like a tournament. Just feels really comfortable. We, we had a great vibe going on this week and it's been amazing to stay with them and play and obviously to win.

Q. Three birdies down the stretch, big one at 18 that sealed the deal. Congratulations on getting your first win in the continental U.S.

CARLOTA CIGANDA: Thank you.
