Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Gabi Ruffels after two rounds at The Standard Portland Classic. Can you just talk about play over the past couple days for you?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: Yeah, it's been good. It's been solid. 5-under yesterday, 2-under today. The course, if you're not hitting it great the course is super tricky. Yesterday I was hitting it pretty close and making a lot putts.

Today it was more of a struggle. I was 2-over through I think like five holes today. So I'm really proud of the way I fought and was able to get 4-under. (?)

Q. Yeah. And talk about playing this event after the Europe Swing. What's it like to carry that into this event back in the States?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: Yeah, for sure. Europe Swing was great. A little bit disappointed with my results, but I always love playing this tournament. I'm glad it was on the schedule this year, you know, and The Standard picked up the sponsorship.

Nike is so close by and I just love Portland. I love the food and I love the culture and the city. Yeah, it's been a fun week.

Q. You got your brother on the bag again this week. I believe I saw on Instagram a couple posts a while ago about quotes he had said out on the course. Are those still happen thing week?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: They are. They are. He has some funny ones. Stay tuned. I will be posting tonight some of his quotes. Honestly it's just so fun having him out here. We get along really well. He definitely keeps it light out there, yeah.

Q. Does he give you any golf advice or mainly to distract you from play? What's the kind of thought process when he's caddieing?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: For sure he gives me a lot of golf advice, which I don't mind. (Indiscernible) You know, we've grown up playing golf together, so if there was anyone that (indiscernible). I definitely feel like he is more experienced than me. He's been playing golf longer, and he has great golf knowledge, especially about my game. So, yeah.

Q. But the banter is there?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: For sure. For sure. He definitely keeps it light out there.
