U.S. GIRLS' JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPJuly 26, 2017Taylor RobertsAugusta, Missouri Q. 22 holes is a lot, so how did the match get the whole way out to 22 holes? Was she leading? Were you leading? TAYLOR ROBERTS: I was leading. I got it to 2-up after 16. I made a clutch putt on 13, I think, and then I made another one -- she made it from 30 feet, and then I made it from 15 feet. I won the hole before that, so I stayed 1-up. I birdied the next par-5 to get it to 2-up, and then she birdied the next hole, so it went to 1-up. Then I bogeyed the par-3 after that, so it was all square. So it was all square going into 17 and 18, and then we both bogeyed 17 and then parred 18. I actually hit probably the best shot of the day. I hit it in the rough on 18, and I had to go at it, so I did, and it hit to like 10 feet, but I missed the putt, so that's how it went into a playoff. Both birdied the first playoff hole. She lipped out for birdie on the second playoff hole, both parred the next hole, and then I birdied the hole after. Q. Tell me about your birdie on the 22nd hole. How far was it? How was your approach? TAYLOR ROBERTS: I had 142 out, and it's like a perfect number for me, just 8-iron, and my caddie told me that I have nothing to lose, go right after it, and the pin is tucked right, there's a bunker in front of me, and I'm like, there's nothing to lose, I'm going right at it. Went right at it, three feet, maybe five feet, and I thought I missed it actually, but then it snuck in kind of. Q. Did you have butterflies today on the first tee, being your first match play event here? TAYLOR ROBERTS: It's my first USGA match play event, but I played some of the ones in Florida, so I'm kind of used to the situation. I love match play. I just like the mindset. It's amazing. Q. What do you think about your first USGA championship experience? TAYLOR ROBERTS: It's been amazing. Every part of it. Q. What's your favorite part? TAYLOR ROBERTS: Probably the way the staff treats you. They're just amazing. They always want you to do the best. I have five staff members watching me out there. It's just amazing. They always want you to do well. All the gifts we got was amazing, too. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
