Quick Quotes

Q. Joining me today after the second round of the Fortinet Founders Cup is Nelly Korda. Nelly, it's our first time at this venue. You've seen two competitive rounds now. Talk about first impressions of the course?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, just tricky. You know, yesterday played different to today for me as for tee shots. I backed down off driver a couple times; hit my 3-wood.

It's tricky. You really have to shape it out here. I would say some of the holes -- I wouldn't say it's a draw-biased golf course or fade-biased golf course. You kind of have to work it both ways here.

Some of the trees are a little bit intimidating and the greens are tough, too. Not only are they really undulated, but sometimes they're a little bit harder to read, too, where I thought it was going to go -- I've had like a bunch of putts inside of ten feet that I missed this week where I thought it was going to go one way and I hit it really solid and just kind of went the other way.

So the greens do get a little bumpy in the afternoon. That's pretty typical with this type of grass. Yeah, happy with my first two days and ready for the next two.

Q. Back in the Bay Area for the first time in a few years. There is lot of good food and good coffee around here.

NELLY KORDA: Yeah.

Q. Been anywhere that you have been gravitating towards?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, for coffee Saint Frank's is pretty good. I like their flat white. Then I went to 1 Oz. That was pretty good but a little further away. So Saint Frank's is pretty close.

There is a True Food on campus and I just like it because it's seed oil free. So I just -- yesterday I cooked right after my round actually. I know there is a lot of Korean and Mediterranean which are my two favorite cuisines, but I try to stay on the healthy side.
