TV Quick Quotes

Q. Yana, thoroughly enjoy watching you when you go about your business on the golf course. You managed to convert a win last week into another great round here. Does it feel different playing as an LPGA Tour winner now?

YANA WILSON: A little bit. You know, just off the first tee they announced me as an LPGA Tour rookie and also an LPGA tour winner. I think after hearing that it kind of freed me up a little bit on the tee. I didn't really have those first tee nerves their normally have and I could kind of just play free out there.

Q. You played with your partner Gina out there again this week. How nice was that to see her name next to yours on the start sheet?

YANA WILSON: It was a lot of fun. Honestly I was a little surprised to see they paired us together, but also really relieved because I feel like over the past week we felt very comfortable with each other, and so just playing with her just was super nice.

Q. One of the perks of being a first-time winner on the LPGA Tour is a rather nice watch. How has your decision process been in making which one you're going to chose?

YANA WILSON: Well, my parents know. I probably sent them about 15 screenshots of like different ones that I want. But, honestly, I'm so excited. I haven't made the decision. I've narrowed it down to I maybe five or so options, so hopefully be making that decision soon.

Q. How many text messages did you get from friends and family congratulating you after last week?

YANA WILSON: Too many. A lot. But, no, I really appreciate all the support from the people that support me on Instagram and my family and friends as well. I haven't gotten back to all of them yet. I will do that soon.
