Quick Quotes

Q. Well done, Gemma. Great round today; 5-under; bogey-free. Can you talk me through your second round?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, obviously got off to a nice start with a birdie on the 10th hole there, my first hole. Kind of needed a hot start today and needed to go low.

My caddie just said to me, what's the lowest round you played in Scotland? I don't know what it is, but I said 5- or 6-under. One them today would do.

Yeah, good.

Q. Did you know you were sort of in the cut line? Were you sort of checking?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: I did not check, but I knew from looking before it was going to even, 1-over. I knew I was right around there by the time I got to the end of the back nine.

Q. That sort of incredible fight-back today; how was your mindset going into today?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: I just want to enjoy myself to be honest. Got all my family here. They weren't here yesterday so I need to tell them to come every day now. My parents were here but the rest of the family came today. It was nice to play well for them and just enjoy being in Scotland.

Q. And how special is it that you've made the weekend here in Scotland?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, very special. Obviously want to be here at the weekend. Family are here this weekend, so be nice to spend time with them and just enjoy being back in Scotland as well.

Q. It was lightly tougher conditions today. Did you feel like just sort of your game was -- like where it was at today or...

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, I just hit it really well. Sometimes it's weird. Like on a links course almost sometimes the wind kind of helps sometimes in a weird way because you see the shots like that.

And used to playing this course with wind, so it was quite nice to have it today.

Q. What's your mindset going into the weekend and finishing strong?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Just same as today. Just enjoy it as much as I can, not put too much pressure on myself like I did the first day, and just kind of play like I did today.
