Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Ellise Rymer after the second round of the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. Talk about your experience out here this week and how fun it was?

ELLISE RYMER: Yeah, it's been amazing. I can't quite believe that I've been able to get the chance to play an LPGA Tour event, especially being here in Cincinnati. It's been amazing.

Playing with Paula and Pornanong has been a good experience and we had lots of fun out there.

Q. What do you feel like you learned most about your game and what you're going to try to apply going forward?

ELLISE RYMER: Yeah, I mean, these girls out here just don't make many mistakes. I think that's quite clear from the scores. Lots of people aren't making many bogeys and they make good saves from everywhere, so it's something to put into perspective for myself and definitely work on that going forward.

Q. When you're out there, were they giving you any advice when you were playing?

ELLISE RYMER: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, it's quite cool to see because I'm not hitting it like that far behind some of those girls. In fact, I'm hitting it past some of them, so that's cool.

They were saying just take it step by step, think about the processes rather than the outcomes, and just enjoy every second.

Q. And then about this course a little bit, it's a tough course out there this week.

ELLISE RYMER: Yeah.

Q. Just kind of talk about just how you had to manage it and what it means to Cincinnati to have this tournament here?

ELLISE RYMER: Yeah, it's a really tough golf course. You can't miss in many spots around here at all. The rough is really thick, so if you're missing fairways it becomes really tough.

But to have this tournament here in Cincinnati, it's great. Everybody in the city loves it. You can see how many people come out to support it and how many people from Cincinnati and the UC alone have come out to watch me and support me throughout the week, so it's been great.
