CN CANADIAN WOMEN'S OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


August 23, 2013


Angela Stanford


EDMONTON, ALBERTA

Q.  Another good day out there.  How was the course playing today?
ANGELA STANFORD:  I thought very similar to yesterday, and I played in the morning.  I thought the greens would be a little firmer, but I felt they were pretty close.  I mean, I'm not sure, but I think so.

Q.  What's been the biggest key for your game over the first two days in this tournament?
ANGELA STANFORD:  Probably ball striking.  I've given myself a lot of chances into the greens, so I think that's the key.  If you can keep it in the fairway and give yourself chances into the greens, then you're going to have birdie putts.

Q.  Definitely a different look of a golf course than we saw last week.  How did you adjust to the tighter course?
ANGELA STANFORD:  Sometimes it's kind of nice to have a tighter course, because you have to be a lot more focused and your swing has to be a lot tighter.  So sometimes you need to be a little bit tighter and a little more focused.

Q.  Doesn't matter how many times you've done it, it's still exciting to be in the mix heading into the weekend?
ANGELA STANFORD:  Yeah, yeah.  I enjoy playing in Canada, and I'm trying to run one of these down.  I've been close in the past.  I just really enjoyed playing the golf courses up here.

Q.  How close have you been?
ANGELA STANFORD:  I don't know.  I know I've had some seconds and a lot of top 5s.

Q.  Looking at the leaderboard, it looks like a lot of Solheim Cup girls, Americans all over the place.  I think there are like eight at the top 15.  What's going on with that?
ANGELA STANFORD:  Last week completely baffled me.  I really thought all the Americans were playing good, and it's obvious this week too, so I don't know.  It's just golf.  Any given week.  I just think that we're pretty strong from top to bottom, and unfortunately we didn't get some putts to fall last week.

Q.  Mentally tougher than maybe people knew?
ANGELA STANFORD:  The Americans, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.  I tell you, learned a lot about that team last week.  They're just solid players and they're great people, and they're a lot stronger than people give them credit for, again, from top to bottom.  All of them just mentally stayed in it, and they're great players.
