Quick Quotes

Q. Can you describe your emotions playing in the playoff alongside Rahm and Burmy as a 21-year-old? What did that feel like?

JOSELE BALLESTER: Yeah, it was pretty special. I would have definitely signed up for that when the day started. I had a good opportunity the last few holes to maybe close it, but I couldn't do it, and yeah, I'll learn from it. When you lose in a playoff to a birdie, there's not much you can do. I think I hit a great second shot. I executed a great putt. It could have gone in. Hopefully next time it does.

Q. What's it like to have teammates that you can rely on when you're done? Does that make things easier after a tough loss?

JOSELE BALLESTER: 100 percent. Yeah, I feel like maybe at the moment I still didn't really feel that unhappy. Now it's starting to kick in a little more, unfortunately, but having your teammates there, just cheering you when you were in the playoff, just to look at them and also appreciate how far my improvement has been is great, and hopefully we can play well in the last two tournaments.
