Quick Quotes

Q. Talk us through your tournament this week. How are you feeling after that?

LILY HIRST: Yeah, it's been exciting. Like I said, such a prestigious golf course, such a prestigious event that everyone, especially British, they love to play and win in it.

I think just especially where it is, like where it's being played, not many people can say they shot under par both rounds through 36 holes. Obviously match play is a different game, didn't do too well today.

Yeah, I've had a lot of fun this week and would like to have a bit of a rest before the next couple of events.

Q. Still take pride in how you played those two days, an achievement in itself.

LILY HIRST: Yes. Even though I didn't play too well today, to be leading qualifier is still a big achievement.

Q. Today was it you just never got it going? How did it feel?

LILY HIRST: I think I was just a bit slow starting off. I think the wind kind of -- obviously we had no wind the first two days. It kind of caught me off guard a little bit.

The girl I played with, fair play to her, I think she was like 5-under. She played really well. There's not much you can do about that.
