Quick Quotes

Q. Kelly, really colorful round I would say. Must be happy the way you finished?

KELLY TAN: Yeah, I had a tough start today. Just felt like I couldn't quite catch the rhythm a little bit. I strike the ball really got last two days and I think today I'm just a little bit off rhythm I would say.

Felt like I was constantly on the searching boat, but on the back nine I think I slowly found the rhythm and some good thoughts and thought I hit some shots that that I planned to see, so the confidence kind of came back.

Putter was helpful towards the end, so managed to get some birdies.

Q. Enjoying your time?

KELLY TAN: Yeah, yeah. I think I'm going to miss this a lot. Yeah, it's always fun to play at home. We always get the best support. Yeah, I'll miss this but, yes, I do enjoy myself.

Q. Game is still there.

KELLY TAN: Yeah, considering --

Q. (Indiscernible.)

KELLY TAN: Yeah, I would say so far I feel like I'm playing above my own expectation considering I honestly haven't practiced that much this year, or even being in the tournament mode.

So I felt like I actually managed myself pretty good. Don't want to say shocking, but I'm quite surprised with the way I hit the ball and still have the touch, so, yeah, I'm happy with how it's going.

Q. Heading into tomorrow, will you enjoy yourself?

KELLY TAN: Yeah, absolutely. I think tomorrow is going to be one of those up and down emotion day. I'm not sure what I'll wake up with, but I can start to feel a little bit of the sadness I would say.

But a lot of I'm happy with where I've got myself to, but I just feel like I'm going miss the fans, I'm going miss the competitive rush, and I'm going miss the grind and of course my friends.

The cool thing is I have the veteran status on the LPGA Tour, so if I do chose to come back and play a couple events I can always do that. Who knows, maybe I'll come for the Maybank ASEAN qualifier next year.

For now, I think this will be it, but, yeah, just really want to really enjoy myself.
