Quick Quotes

Q. First of all, congratulations. How good does it feel to put that first point on the board?

PATIENCE RHODES: Really good. I think it gives us some inspiration for the afternoon.

SOPHIA FULLBROOK: Maybe a bit more stressful than we would have liked, but yeah, pretty happy.

Q. What can you tell us about the start? It was 5-up through 7? Outrageous.

PATIENCE RHODES: You know me and Soph, pretty hot start. We had that as well at the Vagliano so we just tried to feed from that atmosphere we had.

SOPHIA FULLBROOK: Channel.

PATIENCE RHODES: Yeah, channel that energy. Yeah, eagle, birdie, birdie, that was a great start. Then they started making birdies, so you can't really help that. So we just tried to keep pushing and making pars.

Q. Sophia, how hard is it when you have that big lead and then it's getting smaller and smaller? How hard is it to keep yourself level?

SOPHIA FULLBROOK: It is harder for sure because you have a fighting and then something that's a bit of like knocked, I guess. Yeah, just bouncing off the other person, try and get our spirits high, and then get a birdie in there and get our lead back.

Q. You can take a lot of confidence from this into the remaining matches?

SOPHIA FULLBROOK: For sure, yeah.

PATIENCE RHODES: Definitely.
