Quick Quotes

Q. Great round today. Can you walk me through any birdies that stood out to you?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: Well, I hit it close on a couple of par-3s. On 11, I hit it to a couple inches. I made a nice birdie on No. 3, a long about a 30-footer. Missed probably about a four-footer but was above the hole on No. 6. But I got some good reads and we had good speeds, just drip speed. It was a good pretty solid round. I had some squirrelly things happen, didn't hit it perfect, that's for sure. But when I did make a mistake, I seemed to gather myself, and I was all right.

Q. Tell me about the greens. They're rolling super fast. How did you approach them today?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: We just tried to hit where we were trying to hit it. I'm not shooting a sniper rifle, I'm shooting a shotgun, and I don't know which pellet is coming out, so I wish I were that good to shoot a sniper rifle. We just tried to do the best we could and then deal with the putting as it came. Like I said, my caddie is really good at green reading and we did a really good job and walked through where we wanted to hit and the speed, and we just handled ourselves.

The last couple I had to make a good two-putt on 17 and then unfortunately three-putted 18, but for the most part we handled it pretty well.

Q. How would you describe this course to someone who's never played it before?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: You think, oh, it's wide open, whatever. Yes, but then you have to -- if you hit it in that rough, now you have trouble holding it and stopping it on those greens. It sneaks up on you. It's sneaky hard for sure. Length-wise it's really fair for us, but it's harder than you think.

Q. What's your reset routine? You have an early tee time tomorrow.

CORINA KELEPOURIS: So it's going to be eat, shower, maybe watch my show, and then just try and get here and do the same thing tomorrow and we'll see what we can do tomorrow.
