Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Lilia Vu and Alison Lee after the final round of the Dow Championship. A great effort; came up just a bit short though. Just kind of take us through the week. How fun is it to get to play with one of your best friends?

LILIA VU: Yeah, it was to much fun. I feel like Alison has a very calming energy and that's something I don't have, so it was nice play golf with her. Her ball striking is just phenomenal, so it's been fun to watch, and just trusting that her game is there and then I'm able to be freed up and do what I need to do, too.

ALISON LEE: Yeah, I mean, Lilia had a lot of calm energy today, this whole week too, and I feel like we really meshed well together. We were a great team out there. Lilia picked up whenever I needed her, and I feel like I picked up when she needed me.

So, yeah, I feel like over this past week we left quite a few putts out there, a few putts here and there that could have dropped in, like maybe misreading a few here and there, but overall, I mean, I feel like we both had a really good week. We both played really solid.

I feel like we didn't really make too many mistakes either. We just played pretty steady all week, so it was a lot of fun.

Q. What can you take away from a week like this heading back into our traditional 72-hole stroke format?

LILIA VU: Yeah, I'm going to miss watching Alison hit it to like three feet every hole. (Smiling.)

ALISON LEE: Yeah, I feel like this is great momentum going into the next two weeks. Both of us are playing the next two weeks on the road, Meijer and then KPMG, so I feel like this is a great confidence boost going into the next two.

We both saw a lot of good shots out there. Both hit a lot of great putts that went in as well. Lilia chipped in twice, too. Levi is getting a little angry.

LILIA VU: You want your ball?

Q. The course ends in a par-3. I know that's very unusual. What do you think of that?

LILIA VU: I don't mind it. I feel like it's nice to hit like a 9-iron in and it's just ball striking from there, right, and then whoever makes the putt.

Q. Yeah, because it's the only course that you guys play that has a par-3 at the last hole, right, probably?

LILIA VU: That -- I feel like we had one recently.

ALISON LEE: No. Yeah, we had one last week.

LILIA VU: Yeah.

Q. You did? Okay.

ALISON LEE: Yeah. It's not super uncommon. Sometimes we do have a par-3 finish on No. 9, too. I think it's a great finishing hole with water too, depending on where the pin is, and if it gets pretty windy, it can get tricky like yesterday.
