Quick Quotes

Q. Here with a Amelia Lewis after the second round of The Standard Portland Classic. 9-under total. Just talk about past two days so far.

AMELIA LEWIS: My swing has felt really good. Hit a lot of fairways and putter has been great, too, so everything has been pretty solid.

Just having a good time on the course. I think that's the most important part, just staying calm and stay in the moment.

Q. And then talk about the season a little bit. Maybe hasn't been the season you wanted, but so far this week have been playing so really good golf. How nice is that to see?

AMELIA LEWIS: It's nice. I've had a few injuries this year so it's been up and down. To see it all come together is exciting. And, yeah, I'm really excited for the opportunity where I am at right now.

Q. And your injury is feeling a little bit better now? Do you feel like you're in a good spot?

AMELIA LEWIS: Yeah, obviously it's a daily thing I just have to maintain. It's a lot better. I tore my Achilles playing pickleball, I kind of had to recover from that, but it's all good now.

Q. How long ago was that?

AMELIA LEWIS: That was end of last year.

Q. The round today, a colorful scorecard. Made some birdies; made some bogeys. How important is it to just stay within yourself during those rounds when things are going up and down?

AMELIA LEWIS: Yeah, it's super important because this course can get away from you, pretty quick. Or there is a lot of birdies out there, too. You really have to stay positive.

Yeah, like I said, just having a good time. I was at a Backstreet Boys concert this past weekend, so I'm just in a good mood. Things are easy. I'm just having fun.

Q. Where was the concert?

AMELIA LEWIS: Vegas. It was awesome.

Q. And then the back nine, only 11 putts on the back nine and you made a long one on 18 to get in at 9-under. How important is it to make putts, and not only make putts, but hit greens around this golf course?

AMELIA LEWIS: Super important. This course, it's gettable if you're on the greens, but having a birdie putt is very important. I feel like my putting speed is good, so I need to take advantage of that.

Q. What have you been working on recently in your game a little bit?

AMELIA LEWIS: Obviously it's just staying present. My game is good. It's just more about putting it together and staying present. So more mental than anything. I have been doing a lot of work on my putter as well. I made a putting switch a few weeks ago as well and it's paying off.

Q. What did you switch from and to?

AMELIA LEWIS: I played a blade that I've been playing for 15 years, and now I'm playing a little bit bigger blade. It's obviously working.

Q. What made you make that switch?

AMELIA LEWIS: Yeah, I just wasn't getting the results, so I was open to change. Usually I'm not, but I knew it was time. Honestly, (indiscernible) the rep really helped me with that decision, and made a good one obviously.

Q. Have you done any mental work too? Any mental practice to get in the spot you are. Saw the Backstreet Boys.

AMELIA LEWIS: That obviously helps your mental, right?

Q. Any practice specifically?

AMELIA LEWIS: I'm reading a great book called Inner Excellence right now. AJ Brown, the football player, is known for reading it on the sidelines. I'm reading that right now and just trying to practice gratitude every day.
