Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Joining us ahead of The Chevron Championship is Hannah Green. Hannah, you've been on the hot seat. You've won twice on the LPGA and twice on the LET this year, including a win last week at the JM Eagle.

Can you just talk about your emotions and confidence surrounding all what and what you think is going so well.

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I feel like I'm still somewhat on Cloud 9. I just finished my pro-am and didn't do anything yesterday, on Monday. Just felt like I was too exhausted from the flight over.

But, yeah, I definitely have a lot of confidence in my game. It's been a really crazy I guess last five, six events that I've played. Obviously every time you come to a tournament you want to win, have the trophy in your hand; actually doing it has been very surreal.

I'm just going to try and ride this wave for as long as possible.

Q. Your win this past week, you had your regular caddie on the bag, not your husband. How is it to be back with your regular caddie and also to celebrate with your husband outside the ropes?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, it was great. The week in Vegas was the first event I came stateside and I got back to see everyone and people were congratulating both Jarryd and I and giving Dave a little bit of shit, so I said to him he can give all the people that said things back.

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I feel like we both kind of felt like we didn't really know how things were going throughout the round and then all of a sudden like, oh, we won the tournament. It was a little bit of a shock in a way.

Yeah, very grateful to have Dave on the bag. I feel like this win hopefully helps with his confidence as well.

Q. New venue this week at The Chevron Championship. You obviously already got to see it with the pro-am this morning. Talk about the move and what you're excited about with this course and anything you've noticed about it.

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I think it'll be really good for the tournament. Even though I really liked the Woodlands area, I really hope being close to the city will attract more people to come and watch us.

The Houston Open has obviously been played here. I have seen that the crowds can get big, so I hope that people come out and watch us. It's playing tough. It's playing quite long. Obviously This rain is not really helping either, making things a little bit more difficult for us.

But I think it definitely feels like a major championship course, at least on the last nine holes that I played.

Yeah, I hope fairways can at least firm up. I don't know if that will happen, but it will be interesting to see how they put the tee positions because some of the holes, yeah, depending on pin locations could be quite tough.

Q. This is the first major of the season. Have you set any goals or expectations for yourself as we get into major season?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I think probably coming into this week before last week I was probably thinking, okay, a top 10 result would be really good. Obviously now I'm more hungry to continue the success that I've had so far.

I don't really know -- I'm going to say yes, I want to win; obviously I do. But I feel like it's also a really hard task to win back-to-back weeks. Yes, I did that in Australia but probably a little bit different field. Not a major championship obviously.

Yeah, I want to make sure that even though I am very confident that I'm not getting too ahead of myself. Staying patient out there is what have to do to win major championships, so that's what I'm going to try and focus on.

Q. How do you kind of keep those expectations in check when you're on such a streak like you're on right now?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I think that's honestly going to be the hardest part to kind of overcome the next few days, is just making sure I still use the confidence I've had from those wins that I've had. But even today in the pro-am I hit a couple stray drives and I was kind of getting frustrated, but then I have had a big 24 hours, 48 hours.

So I think lowering my expectations for just getting ready for this tournament is kind of what I have to do. Yeah, making sure that I still congratulate myself and actually enjoy the celebration from the win last week.

Q. We know you're a player when you get hot you get hot and doesn't stop for quite sometime. What's been the key to this stretch that you've been on in terms of your game, physically or mentally?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I felt like I had a really good offseason. I was in a really good mental space. Took some time away from golf. Just had about four weeks, four, five weeks without touching a club.

I think that really helped me to become motivated to get back into practice. I still had about a month to get ready for Thailand and Singapore and I just really enjoyed being home. I fFelt like my golf swing didn't take too much to get back into it, which is always really nice.

This is my 12th year as a pro now, so I feel like there is not too many projects we have to work on. It's kind of just a little bit of management.

So I felt like in Asia I hit the ball really well and I managed to putt very well, and I feel like that's kind of a difference out here, too, is whoever putts the best is usually the winner at the end of the week.

My putter has been very kind to me, so it's nice to feel like all aspects of my game have actually been able to turn on at the same time, as to where last year I felt like one thing would go well and something would be really off.

That's probably been the biggest difference, but obviously the inner belief has definitely been different too.

Q. As we enter a major season that seemingly sets up really well for you, having this kind of stretch to rely on, how hungry are you to go chase down one of these major championships? We're going back to Hazeltine for KPMG, playing in LA again at Riviera, and starting the week here at The Chevron Championship.

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, these are the events that you want to peak for absolutely, starting here. I haven't had my best record here in Houston, and so I really want to change and rewrite that story. Coming off a win, yeah, helps me in a way, but probably puts more eyeballs on me. I am hoping that outward attention doesn't affect me too much.

Like you said, we've got so many great major venues and some that are close to probably heart than other players. Yeah, I haven't really played my best in majors in the past, so I'm hoping that I can somewhat have a different approach and use this confidence to help me get through those weeks.

Q. Forgive me if you already answered this, last week in LA you mentioned you called up Min Woo to talk about this golf course. Can you elaborate more about what you chatted about, things you noticed about the golf course, some first impressions?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, so Min Woo is obviously really known for how far he hits it off the tee, but he says it himself, he's probably not the most accurate a player, which is kind of somewhat like me. I am probably not the most accurate off the tee. He said the fairways are pretty generous. The rough wasn't too thick for when they played.

Going out there my caddie Dave actually caddied in the Houston Open this year, and he said some of the tee boxes are similar to what the men played. For them that's rather short; for us it's quite long.

So in that sense I don't know if Min Woo and I can relate to the same clubs with our approach shots, but he did say at least it was wide because that's kind of where I've struggled when we played at Carlton Woods. Off the tee is kind of where I made up a lot of shots.

So, yeah, it was just nice to hear that from Min. Obviously he loves it here. He loves a crowd. Hoping, yeah, people can come out and cheer for us.

Q. Was there a certain hole that caught your eye more than others? Talk about which ones you can really go after.

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I think the last three or four holes are really good. I will be intrigued to see where they put the tee placements, because the 16the hole is a par-5. It think it would be really fun to play that forward. At the moment we're playing I think one or two from the back, so it's just a three-shot hole, which at the end of the day for us players it's just going to be a wedgefest, who is going to hit it the closest.

If they bring that tee forward it could be a pivotal hole throughout the week. It depends, again, on how the fairways hold up. Today I got a lot of mudballs and it's going to be probably a comment that a lot of players will talk about. Obviously you don't want to have to play preferred lies, but if it means that us players probably don't look as silly as we might look when we hit a mudball, I think they can really change how the golf course can be set up.

Yeah, the last four holes I think are going to be very important and probably want a couple-shot lead coming into the last day.

Q. (Indiscernible.)

HANNAH GREEN: He's also from Australia.

Q. This happened last year as well with the rain. How do you handle that mentally, especially at a course you haven't played?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, it's quite tough. I think I decided to take yesterday off. I was contemplating on coming out and chipping and putting on the back nine. I felt like I needed rest. I almost think this is more helpful for me that I have already played nine holes and being able to see the course.

It's giving me more time to rest. I feel like I'm still kind of catching up from last week. It's tough. Everyone is going to scramble I think tomorrow having the last day of practice to go out and see as much as they possibly can.

This kind of shows the mental toughness that you have to have. Today could be a really long delay. At the moment we're in a storm. They told us 30 minutes they'll reassess, but it could be all day we're waiting out here to try and practice.

If anything I think it will help me because sometimes I feel guilty if I am not practicing all day. Oops.

Q. On your red eye, did that go okay? What time did you get in to Houston Monday?

HANNAH GREEN: We left at 1:00 am; got in just after 6:00. Then I went to golf course, picked up my courtesy car, checked in, and went straight to my airbnb and slept for like three or four hours.

The plan was to come out maybe 3:00 yesterday afternoon and do some practice, but I texted Dave and I was like, yeah, no, you will not see me until Tuesday. He said, rightly deserved. I was texting Karrie Webb and she was like, I hope you're taking the day off. And I was like, yes, I am.
