AIG WOMEN'S OPEN

August 2, 2025

Stephanie Kyriacou

Mixed Zone

Q. That was not exciting as maybe yesterday, but really solid and put you in a good spot again for tomorrow.

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yes, definitely not as exciting. I mean, it's not a bad thing. Less bogeys on the card, which was a goal today. Yeah, haven't really checked the leaderboard yet. I assume I moved up in this wind.

Yeah, have another go tomorrow.

Q. How hard is that closing stretch? Not 18 necessarily but probably those ones that played back into the wind. How difficult is it to get away with only dropping maybe only one or two?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, I think if you drop one in them four holes you've done average or good. I dropped one today. I dropped four yesterday, which was quite rough.

But, yeah, that 17th or the 16th hole always gets me. Hopefully can par it tomorrow. Yeah, definitely tough finish, so if the leaderboard is stacked it's definitely in the over until the last hole.

Q. At the end of today do you go away and set a goal for tomorrow or is it just go out and see how many birdies you can make and see what that does for you?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have to chase, foot on the gas. Yeah, I think the same goals as the last couple days. I think I said this yesterday, but you just have to be brave and play with the elements out there.

I did a good job of that today. Yeah, just do that again tomorrow.

Q. Given how it went today, your background, do you hope it gets windy and nasty tomorrow? Do you that that would play into your advantage?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yes, I think it would. I mean, it's not nice for anyone. I think it would be fun. It would be like a true Open Sunday, wouldn't it?

Q. Yesterday when you were playing, walking up 16, Nelly was walking off 17 and she said something about you you can do it. What was that about?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Oh, NO. She said I got a pretty F'd bounce. It was nothing motivational at all. I saw my shot in and it looked like it hit the bunker, but it had a hard kick left. She was like dude, what the -- like what was that. I was like, you tell me.

Nothing motivational, but still...

Q. (Indiscernible) doesn't know you hit a bad shot.

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, exactly.

Q. How good is it having everyone out? You got friends dad, everyone here supporting. How good is it end of the day to switch off and probably talk about nothing close to golf?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, it's fun. Probably going to play table tennis now and eat when this is over.
