Quick Quotes

Q. All right, joining us after the third round of the CPKC Women's Open is Jennifer Kupcho. Jennifer, you went bogey-free today but you've had three strong rounds. What do you think is really important at this golf course?

JENNIFER KUPCHO: I think it's a bit of like hitting it on the greens honestly. I mean, fairways obviously are great as well, but I think for me, I kind of have a lot of power coming out of the rough so if I hit it in the rough it's not like the end of the world.

It's really just trying to get it on the green so that that's easier, just because the rough around the green is pretty hard with the greens being super slopey.

Q. Yeah, we're expecting a little bit of rain tomorrow. Obviously the course has already been pretty wet from the last month. How much do you think that is going to impact the final round?

JENNIFER KUPCHO: Make the bugs worse. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to know. Obviously there has been a lot of rain but the course is really firm, so we'll see if like actually any more rain will make a difference.

Q. And then obviously Miyu has a big lead right now, but are you the type of player that likes to chase someone down?

JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what golf course she's playing because 18-under is insane, but, yeah, I mean, I'm just going to go out there and play my best.

Like there is nothing you can do if she's playing lights out. It is what it is, you know, so...

Q. Last one: Solheim Cup is obviously coming up. Can you just talk a little bit about what it means to you to be on another Solheim Cup team?

JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, it's always an honor to represent your country. It's obviously the - I think - the best event of the year. I love it.

So, yeah, I'm really excited. Excited to represent my country and I think we'll have a good team this year.

So I'm excited to get started.
