U.S. GIRLS' JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPJuly 27, 2017Elizabeth MoonAugusta, Missouri Q. What was your goal heading into today, or for the championship I should say? ELIZABETH MOON: Well, for the championship my ultimate goal was to just make it to the round of 64. Like for a long time, I've known of this tournament and I never could like qualify into it, and this year was my first year that I actually qualified into the tournament, so I was like, it would be just awesome to even make it to the round of 64, and I did that. Q. And now what do you think? Are you just having a lot of fun? What's your mindset now? ELIZABETH MOON: I'm just kind of overwhelmed that I won matches that I didn't think that I would win because like they were against really great players, and I just -- like I played great this week, but like I didn't think I would be able to get this far, and I'm surprised. Q. How are you winning? What's working for you out here? ELIZABETH MOON: Well, for my first few matches, I wasn't striking the ball too well, but I was putting pretty decent, so it kind of evened out. And then for my last few matches, my ball-striking got -- it got a lot better, so I was hitting more greens, and that really helped, so that helped me to make a few birdie putts to take an early lead. Q. What do you think was one of your key holes on this round of 16 match? ELIZABETH MOON: Let's see. I would say birdieing 7 and 8 consecutively. That gave me a 2-up lead, and I think that was a really big boost right there. And also a really big hole for me I would say would be 16, the last hole, and I had like a 44-foot putt for par to win the hole -- well, not win the hole, halve that hole to win the match. Q. That's big, so you want to keep going on and taking chances. ELIZABETH MOON: Yeah, and just somehow win it. Q. Have you ever played on TV before? Is this your first time? ELIZABETH MOON: This is my first time. Q. What do you think about? Does it add extra pressure? ELIZABETH MOON: I actually don't realize it whatsoever. I guess I just don't pay attention.
