Quick Quotes
Q. All right, here with Olivia Cowan after her second round at the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. Very solid bogey-free round for you today. What was the key to success out there?
OLIVIA COWAN: To be honest, just focusing on every shot as comes. Obviously the course is quite tricky. The greens are very undulated and kind of need to hit them in certain spots.
So just putting them in the right places and giving myself chances. Yeah, that was really it.
Q. Great stretch too to close out the front nine. Four straight birdies. What was going through your mind during that time?
OLIVIA COWAN: Just same process. Just every shot as is. Just hopefully get myself close to the pin so I have a chance to hole some putts; that's what I did.
Q. How does this course suit your strengths?
OLIVIA COWAN: I think as you need to hit it, like be quite precise on certain shots. That helps me because I feel like I'm quite good in -- I hit it quite straight, so having certain -- I feel like you can't really hit it off line too much, so that I think puts me in a good spot.
Q. What have you made the TPC River's Bend as a course?
OLIVIA COWAN: It's really lovely, a really great course. First time playing. I played the one two years ago at the other course.
I would say this one is a lot more difficult. Yeah, it's great. The crowds are great and it's in great condition so I can't complain.
Q. Really tight on the leaderboard. Lots of low, numbers. What's the key to success to put yourself over the top this weekend?
OLIVIA COWAN: Holing more putts. I think that's the key in every tournament to be honest. So I have a good routine going with my caddie who's just a really good friend of mine who has come out for a couple weeks.
I'm enjoying that. We're reading the putts together. I'm trying out a new thing where I'm lining up the ball. I've never done that before. Yeah, something different. I guess it's something else to focus on rather than a score.
Q. What made you make the switch?
OLIVIA COWAN: I don't know. We were just putting, practicing and I kind of just needed a little bit of help on lining up. I have the tendency to, especially on the left-to-righters, just aim a little left and then push it right.
So I think just getting the right start line was key for me, and the line just really helps with that.
