Quick Quotes

Q. Joining me today after the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship is Gaby Lopez. Gaby, phenomenal finish to your season. Can you just talk a bit about when you reflect back on this year what you'll focus on and what you'll be grateful for I guess?

GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, it's been an unbelievable season. Very, very thankful for a lot of many things; first of all my team, the many people I have around me. I have professionals and people with a lot of values and principles, so to me that's very important.

Secondly, very proud and very thankful for every fight I put behind every event, every preparation, every workout, every practice. Sometimes golf can get disappointing. It can be frustrating. But, yeah, just keeping that light within me and keep believing that at some point golf is going to turn around, and eventually it did.

Q. You had your career-low round yesterday and then eagle on 17 today. How does this build on your confidence as you head into some debrief time for the next few weeks?

GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, for sure. The past two weeks, I mean, since The ANNIKA, Pelican, and I think this week, I don't know, I feel that you get to know yourself a lot during bad moments and bad rounds.

Also I think I'm learning a lot about myself when I am in a good position and how comfortable I'm starting to feel under pressure. I'm loving it. Each day is different. Each day you find yourself a different position emotionally.

Certainly these couple weeks have been unbelievable. Having that inner peace and patience for sure has paid off.

Q. We saw Craig Kessler greet you on the green yesterday and again today after your round. How has that relationship blossomed over the last few months that he's been the commissioner?

GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, Craig has been an unbelievable commissioner on the LPGA Tour. He has elevated each one of us individually and as a group, and I feel that when he stands up and speaks we truly listen and we're actually believing what he's saying.

I think he's an unbelievable leader and that's what we needed, and I'm very, very proud to be able to share this journey with him.

Q. Off the course, any fun holiday plans or plans now that you won't be having to travel the world every week?

GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, it's going to be a little crazy. I'm going to go to one of my best friends wedding to Spain, Carlota Ciganda. From there I'm going to go to? Canada with my brothers and their girlfriends and then I am going to go back to Mexico to be with the whole family.
