Quick Quotes

Q. What do you take from today, being in the hunt and holding your own?

MEJA ÖRTENGREN: As you say, being in the hunt. I felt the pressure down the stretch, but very happy with the way I played the first nine. It's tough out there, and if you miss a few shots, it can run away from you quickly.

I'm super proud of the tournament as a whole.

Q. You really bounced back after the double bogey on 7 with the birdies on 8 and 9. Was it a challenge to stay in it like that and maintain belief?

MEJA ÖRTENGREN: I think I still had belief after the double bogey on 7. I thought it was just going to be three holes, I'm going to be right back at it. I don't think I was out of it after 7, and birdies on 8 and 9 felt really good.

Q. Are we likely to see you back here next year?

MEJA ÖRTENGREN: If I get an invite, yeah.

Q. Does a finish like this give you even more incentive to keep working on your game?

MEJA ÖRTENGREN: For sure, yeah.

Q. I want to ask not necessarily about on the course, but off the course, what you're wearing right now. You've got the apparel, the Tiger Woods brand. Talk to me about the feel of it. I know you guys are representing it. How does it feel? Tell me a little bit about that.

MEJA ÖRTENGREN: It's great. We've really enjoyed having these clothes this week. I think the fit of it is really good. I also really like that we had different options from all of us. I think we all got different things. So really good.

Q. Just talk a little bit about Tiger Woods, what he's meant to golf and Stanford. Just for you, what does it mean to you as a golfer?

MEJA ÖRTENGREN: I mean, he's one of the biggest of all time. Growing up, I saw a lot of his golf on TV, and I really looked up to the way he played golf and also his demeanor on the golf course.

Q. You said that your team got a bunch of different things to try on so you wouldn't have to wear the same thing. Do you think you'll be rocking this style after this tournament going forward?

MEJA ÖRTENGREN: This was only for this tournament. I'll see what the future holds.
