Q. Here with Amelie Zalsman. Amelie, you are going to the finals of the U.S. Girls' championship. How are you feeling right now?

AMELIE ZALSMAN: A bit tired, honestly, but it's amazing. This is my fifth time playing this championship, and I haven't even been close to making it this far. So whatever happens tomorrow, I'm just really happy with how I have been performing this week.

Q. It's been an incredible week. What have you learned from those first five championships that you've taken into this week?

AMELIE ZALSMAN: Just a ton of different match play experience, I would say. Learning when to be aggressive, when not to be, how to handle being down early in a match or even being up early in a match. I've kind of experienced everything, so I think all those experiences have really helped me this week.

Q. You certainly look like a match play pro. How are you going to reset? One last long day tomorrow. What are you going to do to reset?

AMELIE ZALSMAN: First going to go shower, probably get some Chipotle or something. Then just lay in bed, get my mind off golf for a bit. It's been a long day out here. So we'll see what happens tomorrow.
