Quick Quotes

Q. Joining us after the first round of the CPKC Women's Open is Kiara Romero. 6-under bogey-free in your first round as a pro. Just how are you feeling right now?

KIARA ROMERO: Yeah, I'm really happy about it. I think I honestly came out here today just like with one goal: To just go out there and have fun and just play with as little pressure as possible, and that's exactly what I did.

Q. You have your brother on the bag. How much do you feel like that helps you?

KIARA ROMERO: Yeah, I think we're obviously like super close and we've grown up playing golf together ever since I was like six years old, so he knows my golf game better than anyone else. Yeah, we're just best friends out there. We're just having fun and it's a great time.

Q. Just having your LPGA Tour card now, how does it feel to have that not something that you need to work towards anymore, but just to be out here and be a full professional?

KIARA ROMERO: Yeah, I think it's definitely a weight off my shoulders. This last summer it's been a little bit stressful. To just finally be out here and have that put behind me, it's a lot of fun to just be out here and just play stress-free and just get back to that having fun part of it.

Q. Last one: What's going to be really important at this golf course specifically to stay low throughout the next three rounds?

KIARA ROMERO: I think just staying aggressive and just having a good game plan and not straying away from that and just trusting my game.
