Quick Quotes
Q. Congratulations on yet another dramatic win in match play. You guys were 3 down at the turn. What did you do to flip the switch and win the match?
HALEY DAVIS: Honestly, I just didn't want to lose. I was like we're not losing this thing. And like Katelyn said yesterday, like she's a pretty good back nine player. So we basically had to make one putt, and then everything started falling in. That's kind of what we did.
She went on a birdie streak. She had two or three in a row?
KATELYN HUBER: Yeah, I don't know.
HALEY DAVIS: That really helped like motivate us to keep going.
KATELYN HUBER: Bananas get me going. I had a banana on 11 and eagled 11. Like Haley said, we didn't make anything on the front, not even -- we missed a par putt that was crucial on 9, and that made us go 3 down.
It's kind of weird with the bathroom being on like 8. So I don't know, it just feels weird.
HALEY DAVIS: Weird hole.
KATELYN HUBER: But yeah, I ate a banana. That's the short answer.
Q. That's the trick, huh? Obviously eagle on 11, and was it you on 17 as well? Can you walk me through just both of those holes?
KATELYN HUBER: Yeah, 11, I knew I had would have a chance. I hit 5-iron into the green earlier today. Just knew I had to pipe a drive. Haley always gets it in position so that I can pipe a drive. Kind of tried to step on one and just hit a nice, easy 4-hybrid to 36 feet, I think.
It was a slider. I just have to tap this thing. It luckily caught the right edge.
HALEY DAVIS: We needed that.
KATELYN HUBER: And kind of fell in.
Then on 17 they moved the tee up, which they told us on the 1st tee. That was kind of in the back of my mind when we made the turn 3 down is I was going to be able to drive that hole. I kind of had some distance on the girls, so I was like, okay, maybe try to get one on the green, put some pressure on them.
She made a birdie putt, so I was able to kind of give that eagle putt a run. It dripped in. I thought I left it short honestly when I putted it. But just putts didn't go our way on the front, and they kind of did go our way on the back. That's just golf honestly.
Yeah, really proud of how we stayed through it and in it. It probably would have been easy to kind of dwell and get sad, but kept our heads up.
Q. When you guys are 3 down, you're looking at a big deficit, do you guys encourage each other out loud? Are you saying, hey, we got this, or is it a silent confidence you have in each other so you can get through the deficit?
HALEY DAVIS: I think it's both. We have to reset in our own head, but I definitely think like after she sinks an eagle putt, like everyone cheers -- our parents, our caddies, me -- and I think that helps a lot. It's just like hearing, like motivating each other.
I think we both know how to regroup our own ways and just kind of take a step back and be like, okay, I can do this.
KATELYN HUBER: I think it goes to match play, like momentum can switch so quick and so easy. I think 11 was a big part of it. Just kind of kept with that momentum.
I always take it one shot at a time. So making eagle didn't really mean anything to me other than we won a hole, right? Just trying to stay present in the moment.
