Quick Quotes

Q. First question would be talk about that approach on 18 to about 12 inches.

KIARA ROMERO: Honestly, knowing that I was tied going into 18, I just really had like -- I was really fired up to go hit that shot. I really wanted to hit it close. So I did exactly what I wanted to do and hit it on a perfect line and flushed it exactly how I wanted to. So yeah.

Q. Last week you were Low Amateur at the U.S. Open. This week you played four sessions at the Curtis Cup. How are you feeling? When you got tired, what were you telling yourself to kind of push through it to win the Curtis Cup?

KIARA ROMERO: Honestly, when you're out there -- like obviously it's been such a long two weeks and nonstop golf for the past 15 days or so. So obviously like my body is getting a little bit tired. My brain's getting a little bit tired. But when we're out there, the stakes are so high that I feel like it's so exciting. It's so much fun that it kind of blocks out the tiredness and kind of distracts you from the way your body is feeling.

Honestly, I felt great out there today, and I was really glad that I was able to play well.

Q. What was your favorite moment between the last two weeks of golf here in L.A.?

KIARA ROMERO: There's just so many. I would say these two tournaments that I just played are one of my favorites from the past like five years or so. It's been amazing.

Q. I know a lot of people are thinking when you get the amount of points, you're going to turn pro. Have you put any thought into that?

KIARA ROMERO: Yeah, it's definitely crossed my mind with the way I played last week at the Open, that got me two more points. Then the Curtis Cup as well got me two points. So really I just need two more. So if that happens, it's definitely going to be an option.
