Quick Quotes

Q. All right, we are here with Maja Stark after her final round here of the LOTTE Championship presented by Hoakalei. Top 5 finish for you this week. How would you assess the week overall?

MAJA STARK: Just really solid I think. Didn't make too many big mistakes and felt like I got my putter going. Maybe not today but the other days, so that was fun.

Yeah, just very happy. I think that's my best finish of the year.

Q. I was going to say, yeah.

MAJA STARK: Yeah, I'm happy.

Q. Anything you can take away from this week as we head into the final Asia stretch and then Annika and CME?

MAJA STARK: I think just more confidence with my putting especially. It worked well at Solheim and I then I just tried to figure out what it was in my putting that worked so well, and I'm happy that it still stuck with me to this week.

So, yeah, I mean, I'm just happy that I think my spot for CME is all clear, so, yeah.

Q. Is there anything in particular you think you found in your putting this week that you drew on from Solheim?

MAJA STARK: Not really. I think it's just technique stuff that I've been working on lately and felt like it really came through at Solheim.

I'm just happy that I could fix the mistakes when I felt like I was doing something wrong and kind of get back on track when I was getting nervous our whatever.

Q. You told me you're going to go home for a little bit and head over to BMW in Korea. How important is it to balance resting, especially this time of year versus you just finished T5 you probably want to keep going and build on this momentum.

MAJA STARK: No, I want to rest. I'm done. Feels like I haven't played a proper tournament in so long, but maybe I should just keep taking four weeks off. I think obviously everyone is getting kind of tired, getting sick of being on airplanes.

So I think it's kind of nice that I don't have that many tournaments left. I can just kind of chill these next few, and just get ready for the big final.
