Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Sophia. Thank you. Great round today?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Thank you.

Q. First trip to Malaysia. Talk us through today. What was working well, what you liked about the golf course.

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yeah, the golf course is great. It's in great shape. The greens in particular are rolling really well. They're a little faster today than they been earlier in the week.

I was hitting the ball really well. My ball striking was better. Coming into this week I wasn't hitting it great. Last week I was off a little bit.

So I worked on my swing on the range for quite a while the last couple days and really saw results from that today.

Q. How is the flat stick working?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: It's great. I mean, yeah, I made putts today. That's the difference out here. You got to make some putts, so it's been good today.

Q. First trip to Malaysia. How has it been so far with the hotel, the city, the golf course, the people, the weather?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Oh, it's amazing. First time here and I'm loving it. I am so excited I was able to come and play here. The hotel is great. It's one of the nicest ones we stayed in all year, and the golf course is just incredible, so really overall a really great time.

Q. And you had a welcome dinner on Tuesday.

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yeah.

Q. Talk us through that.

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: It was fun. First of all, when we got there Monday night to the hotel there was dancers, and welcomed us with a beautiful dance. There were more dances on Tuesday night at the pro-am party, so it was really a nice touch that tournament put together, yeah.

Q. What was going well for you?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Just hitting a lot of greens. That's what you got to do out here. I minimized my mistakes. When I missed the green I was able to get them up and down. And then just rolling the ball really well, making a lot of putts.

Q. Did you think the golf course suits you?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: I do, so far. Hopefully it will continue to. So far, yeah, I think it really fits my eye, which really helps a lot.
