WENDY WARD: If I can do what I did today and just make a few more putts, I think I'll be in really good position. Just felt like I didn't get really anything, a few putts early on to drop for me, and the back side, kind of hit a lull. I had a lot of opportunities. Every hole is an opportunity. But yeah, I'm very pleased with my position.
NEAL REID: Let's go over your score card.
WENDY WARD: No. 2 hit a wedge to about from 118 to about 25 feet. Made a nice little one there.
Then No. 4, I had 120 yards in. Same number I had on 18. Hit a 9-iron to four feet.
Then No. 10, 102 to the hole. Hit a little wedge back into the wind to eight feet.
Then 11, I had 220 to the hole, 210 to the front, and hit a 3-wood in to about 15 feet. Left the eagle putt right in the jaws. It was an easy 2-putt.
Then on 18, I had 120 yards to the flag, simple shot, really, and I just got aggressive with it. Wanted to really stick it tight, and I pulled a 9-iron left and kind of had a delicate chip shot. Hit that to about 12 feet and left that one right in the heart, too.
NEAL REID: With the scoring conditions the way they are and if it stays that way tomorrow, is it just a matter of making putts, really.
WENDY WARD: It is. Hit the ball as well as I could hit it, minus one swing on 18. So just have to make a few more putts maybe, maybe tomorrow is my day.
NEAL REID: Are you surprised in this tournament that the scores are so low?
WENDY WARD: Not really, with the conditions. The conditions are very favorable for scoring right now. The greens firmed up and the fairways firmed up quite a bit today and you have to adjust a little bit for that. But I don't see why scores won't continue to go low tomorrow.
Q. What conditions would you like tomorrow?
WENDY WARD: The thing is, I don't have a choice. Whatever it is, it is, and that's what I need to like. If it blows a little harder, if it rains a little bit, I've seen it at its worst here, I think, so I think we are definitely going to be better tomorrow.
