Quick Quotes

Q. Kiara, you finished at 2-under today. How did the course feel out there today?

KIARA ROMERO: I think they were definitely a little bit faster and firmer than yesterday. But just kind of stuck to my game plan and I was hitting it really well. I think I only missed two greens out there. Ball-striking was good.

Q. Obviously you have your sister on the bag. How did that help you today? Did she help you out with the greens like you were saying?

KIARA ROMERO: Yeah, for sure. She definitely helped me out there. We worked really well, as always. It's good to have her on the bag.

Q. Obviously you're World No. 1. Did you feel pressure about that today? What was the mental aspect of it?

KIARA ROMERO: No, I feel like this last year I've had a ton of experience playing on big stages and playing some professional events and playing in front of big crowds and stuff.

I think definitely coming here this year compared to last year, and the year before, I was a lot more calm, confident, and just really trusted my game overall and had a lot of fun out there.

Q. How do you feel like you're going to approach tomorrow? How do you feel like this round was, and what are some of your takeaways going into tomorrow?

KIARA ROMERO: Yeah, I think I played really smart out there today, but I think I'm definitely going to go out there tomorrow and be a bit more aggressive with the way I'm hitting it.

I think there's a lot of trust with my ball-striking, and I think I can really attack those pins out there tomorrow.
