Q. Congratulations. You're through to the semifinals. That was tight, nerve-wracking. Tell me what was it like to stand over that putt on the 18 hole?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: Yeah, it was pretty scary. I said to Minjee before, I was like, I'm s***ing my pants. She was like, why? Like it's fine.

I was like, okay. But, yeah, it was pretty nerve-wracking. I think Michael, my caddie said we had like 10-under, better ball, and we halved the match. It was some really good golf out there.

To hole that putt I knew it was important. Very good feeling.

Q. Minjee, you hit an amazing shot into 16 but that is match play, isn't it?

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I mean, I said to Steph after the hole I was like, I feel like Yealimi was going to hole it. Yeah, it was nothing new to us. We played match play when we were growing up so it is just the way it goes I guess.

Q. And Hannah and Grace, you were watching on. What were your thoughts on the 18th green?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, the Americans have obviously played really well this week. We got dusted on the putting green I think especially today.

So, yeah, the girls fought really hard all week to get the matches in, so, yeah, gives us a chance hopefully tomorrow to do some repeat from last time.

Q. You did so well last time at the International Crown. What is it about this event that just brings out the best in Team Australia?

HANNAH GREEN: I think --

Q. Mom.

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I'll answer. I think because we don't have the opportunity to represent our country as much as perhaps Europeans or Americans, I think that just fuels a fire in us more for when we do get the opportunity to play this week.

We all get along really well. We all play with one another. We like to have a bet amongst one another, so we're all very competitive. It's great that we were able to showcase that today and over the next two rounds.

Q. And Grace, your first appearance in this event. Going into tomorrow, have you even thought about a lineup?

GRACE KIM: No, but I think we're all pretty comfortable playing with each other. You know, this whole week it's kind of been hard to match up the teams because like Hannah said, everyone is really gelled well with each other and we play well with each other as well.

If anything it was hard to make a decision for the pairings, so I mean, I don't think we're going to change that much for tomorrow.
