U.S. GIRLS' JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPJuly 26, 2017Alexa PanoAugusta, Missouri Q. You got your first match play match under your belt; how did you play today? ALEXA PANO: Today was a pretty rough day of playing, but I ended up winning, so that's basically all that matters. Q. When you say rough, you got off to a slow start? ALEXA PANO: Definitely a slow start, slow middle, until about the 15th hole. It was just a really slow day. I never really got to a comfortable point in my round as I did the past few days. It was just a tough day. Q. How were you able to close it out? How were you able to get going and get this thing done? ALEXA PANO: I kind of said to myself, if I don't get it together, I'm going to lose this match. The way that I'm playing right now is not going to get it done, and I knew something had to change, so I kind of tried to change my mindset a bit, and apparently it worked in a good way. Q. What did you do? How did you close it out? You had -- ALEXA PANO: I birdied the par-3, 16; parred 17; and birdied 18. Q. And your birdie lengths, how long were your putts? ALEXA PANO: 15 feet and about six. Q. On the respective holes? ALEXA PANO: Yes. Q. Just looking ahead tomorrow, what do you have to do to get happy again and play some good golf? ALEXA PANO: I'm definitely going to have to go work on my putting setup and my swing because those were the two main things that I did poorly today, and I'm just going to have to go out tomorrow and focus a little bit more on my game, and hopefully that will help me get it done. Q. Do you feel pretty good about -- you're one of the two youngest contestants here this week. You kind of have just a lot of ways to go, right? I'm not going to say nothing to lose, but you're young; does that help at all? ALEXA PANO: I mean, I try to look at it just I'm the same as any other competitor here, but maybe some of the other girls think of it differently, but I try to just -- I'm the same height as most of them. I've been playing golf the same, maybe longer than most of them, so I consider myself the same level as them, and hopefully I can prove it by winning this week. Q. You've grown a lot; how many inches have you grown since last year? ALEXA PANO: Since last year I've probably grown about seven inches. Q. How tall are you now? ALEXA PANO: I'm 5'8½".
