Q. Brooke Matthews has just finished a very memorable round. I don't even know where to start really. I got to start with the hole-in-one. Talk us through that shot.

BROOKE MATTHEWS: Yeah, it was wild. All week I was like, I want to win the Lamborghini. Yeah, 140 yards. I think it was playing, 9-iron. Just saw it bounce. I still can't believe it. I blacked out. I can't wait to watch it on film because I still can't really remember it.

Q. How many have you had?

BROOKE MATTHEWS: First one ever. Ever.

Q. First one ever?

BROOKE MATTHEWS: Yeah. I was like, I'm just going save it for a special moment. Obviously I've been close and had some other hole-outs. I have been close and had some other hole outs. I think this constitutes as a special moment.

Q. You had a chip-in for eagle on 14 as well en route to what looks like a place in next year's CME Group Tour Championship. What does it mean to you to have achieved that in a season where it could have gone either way?

BROOKE MATTHEWS: Yeah, it's awesome. Obviously that's one of the biggest goals for the season for I think most of the girls out here. We'll see how it all shakes out. Yeah, I think pretty much gave it all I had, so if I fall short I fall short. It means a lot to me and I'm excited to go to Naples hopefully.

Q. You didn't make it easy at 18 with that tee shot and a terrific up and down. Tell us about that.

BROOKE MATTHEWS: That tee shot has gotten me all week. What can I tell you? But I guess we'll get it next year. Luckily there is room left.
