Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Amanda Doherty after her second round at the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. Another solid round today. Can you just talk about the difficulties of this golf course and how you've been able to manage it?

AMANDA DOHERTY: Yeah, I think one of the main hard parts about this golf course is the really undulated greens, and today I seemed to find the wrong spot on a lot greens and I think my speed was pretty good and I made a lot of 4-, 5-, 6-footers.

So, yeah.

Q. And you mentioned yesterday a little bit about your swing and some swing changes getting comfortable with it. Looked like you were pretty comfortable with it hitting 16 out of 18 greens even when you weren't hitting fairways. Can you just kind of talk about just how it feels right now and the comfort level?

AMANDA DOHERTY: Yeah, I'm definitely pretty comfortable in my swing right now. There is a few fairways out there that I think are kind of hard to hit so you got to take the -- roll with the punches a little bit and know you'll be in the rough a few time, and try to capitalize when you do, when you're in the fairway.

Q. Right now tied for the lead heading into the weekend. Can you just kind of talk about the excitement of being in contention heading into Saturday?

AMANDA DOHERTY: Yeah, I'm really excited. Like I was saying yesterday, I'm just excited to be teeing it up this week after reshuffling after Mexico. I'm going in with that mindset I think and just happy to be here and happy to be playing, yeah.

Q. Do you feel like I found something in Mexico confidence-wise or just anything you feel has maybe helped your game click heading into this week?

AMANDA DOHERTY: Not necessarily. I think I've just been working on the right stuff and everything is kind of going the right direction.

Q. What was the highlight of the day?

AMANDA DOHERTY: I think my putt on 13 probably. That's -- like I was -- that fairway I think, at least with my draw off the tee, is almost impossible hit. Like I'm just trying to hope it holds the first cut, and I got a pretty bad lie there.

So I walked up and I was surprised I hit the green, and then that's just one of those putts you're trying to lag close.

So definitely that one.

Q. How far do you think that was?

AMANDA DOHERTY: I don't know, 25, 28 feet, something like that.
