Quick Quotes

(In progress.)

CHARLEY HULL: ...and just go.

Q. Was it easier out there today?

CHARLEY HULL: I felt like it was quite SCORABLE out there. Got quite firm I think as well.

Yeah, just felt like I went at everything.

Q. What's been the hardest part about this venue?

CHARLEY HULL: I found the greens hard to read in the first couple of days, and then because they're not as fast as I thought they was going to be.

Some putts I just left short downhill and I'm like, that should have rolled out. Probably good that they haven't gotten too fast.

Q. You said you love moving day.

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah.

Q. Over there. Why do you love moving day and how hard was yesterday just grinding to try to make the cut?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I kind of like chasing. I just find it more fun and just I can then be free and then just play golf how I want to play golf.

That's what I think (indiscernible) and the final rounds at well.

Q. And the grind yesterday?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, the grind yesterday, I was playing really -- I played really decent actually the first two days tee-to-green; just couldn't get a putt. So kind of just stuck in there and just went at everything today. Just thought f*** it.

Q. If is there any part you that wasn't feeling great when you came into this, were you surprised when you shoot 65?

CHARLEY HULL: Not really no, because I knew it was there. It's just more mentally me. I overthink things ridiculously and then get myself really tired, so I think it's just sometimes I need nothing in my mind and just go out and play, a distraction.

Q. How are you physically feeling this week?

CHARLEY HULL: I physically feel great. I just always have a runny nose. Because everyone sees me blow my nose they're like, ah, you must be sick. No, I have a bad nose all the time. Like my nose it just always runs.

Yeah, it was nice. Didn't feel a thing. Yesterday my cousins lifelong dream was to go to Malibu. She thought it was going to be like this amazing place and she had this dream and thought it was going to be -- you know how like the Barbie movie like you see people walking around with like surfboards going out in the ocean, just everything.

We got down there and I was like, we're in Malibu. She's like, no, we're not. I'm like, yeah, we are. She's like, my lifelong dream is like being crushed. She was devastated. It was absolutely hilarious.

On the whole way there it was like, why you want to go to Malibu? Stop it. Just talking it down because you don't want to go. I'm like, no, you're going to be shocked when you get there. No, like, shut up. Once she got there, it's just like, oh, right.

Q. Had you been there?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, been there before. Just drove through it. There is not really anything down there. I was just wetting myself the whole night. The night before she was going on to my physio how excited she was to go there.

Just made it ten times as funny.

Q. When you were saying like you stay up late watching golf swings. Your golf swings?

CHARLEY HULL: My golf swing, yeah. Like I go back to I know every single feel I've throughout the last -- over the years and what's worked and what's not worked. I just study everything thinking, oh, I like this feel, I like that feel. Why can't it be like that or this and that. Sometimes you just got to cancel all that out and just think nothing.

Q. Is that a result of you kind of trying to find things this year, or this period?

CHARLEY HULL: I had something found the beginning of the year. I finished -- I had some good results. And then it's just when I then thought, right, I want to become even better I start thinking a lot and it's just stupid. Like I need to -- when I'm home I need to relax more. Like I need to not feel guilty for having a day off golf. That that's my prime for when I get back home, even though I'm actually going to Gleneagles Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to have a golf trip.

But still, do you know what I mean?

Q. Should the is golf trip with?

CHARLEY HULL: Just my boyfriend.

Q. (Regarding distraction tonight.)

CHARLEY HULL: We're going to Mexican. Actually, I am going to go practice a little bit, physio, go for a redlight sauna, ice bath which I'm actually running late for, then going to go to a Mexican restaurant somewhere, yeah.
