March 18, 2018
Phoenix, Arizona
Q. Not the way you wanted to finish, but it was a really good day.
MARINA ALEX: Yeah.
Q. How was it out there?
MARINA ALEX: It was really good. I feel like I was in control of myself for probably the first 15 holes. I guess through when I made the eagle; then I got a little excited and kind of just knew I was a bit closer to the lead at that point.
I missed a ton of birdie opportunities I felt like today. I hit it well, left myself a lot of chances, and didn't really hole enough. You know, something to just take from the day and just work on that. Hopefully next time around just make a couple more putts.
Q. Yeah. Tell me about the eagle.
MARINA ALEX: The eagle was cool. They moved the tee forward, which was nice. I hit a drive out there, decent drive, and then we had about like 220-ish to the hole. I don't remember the exact number.
So 3-wood into the wind on an uphill lie. I didn't hit it great, but I was lucky it cleared the bunker. I was left with such a tough chip because just the way the green was sloping.
Just I tried to hit a pitch onto the front of the green with like as much spin as I could put on it, and it ended up just bouncing right in the hole.
So it was great.
Q. Looks like it's going to be your second Top 5 of the season. It's still so early; how are you feeling about your game and where you are?
MARINA ALEX: It's good. It's interesting, how I finished in Australia was totally different. I had two really great rounds Saturday and Sunday you just kind of crept up into the Top 5.
This was a different experience playing in the last group yesterday and kind of been hanging around for two days. There is a lot to learn from each. To be able to put that all together will hopefully be the outcome at some point this year.
