Evian-les-Bains, France
Q. Well that was one emotional day for you. On top of the leaderboard on your own for most of it. Talk about your emotions right now.
AMY OLSON: I honestly had no idea where I was until I was in the rough and kind of needed to make the decision to go for it or not. I asked Nathan, Where am I at? He said I was ahead by one, so I really felt like I needed to try to get it on the green there.
I hit an awesome cut 8-iron; landed it right where I needed to be. That was a great shot. I was aggressive with my putt; a little too aggressive obviously. Obviously it's really -- it's disappointing to finish like that, but I had a great week. I have so many positive things to take away from it.
I'm very pleased. This is my best finish I believe in a major, so that's always a positive.
Q. You're normally not much of a leaderboard watcher?
AMY OLSON: No, but it was very intentional to not watch it.
Q. How were the nerves today? You've been playing such wonderful golf all week. This is the final round of a major; you're two strokes ahead going into the final round. How did it feel through that front nine and then beyond the turn?
AMY OLSON: I actually felt very comfortable. I had a little nerves on the first tee. Hit a great dive. That obviously helps. Made a bogey early and was just focused on coming back from that.
Made a great birdie on 3.
From that point I was actually pretty steady. Like I said, I had no idea where I was. I think that probably helped. This isn't a course where you have to make a lot of risk/reward decisions, so there was really no point in knowing where I was.
So I don't think I felt the roller coaster that maybe people watching did. Yeah, obviously disappointed to finish the way I did, but honestly I hit every shot, I committed to every shot, I did everything I could, and double bogeys happen.
Q. Talking of roller coasters, Angela playing in the group behind, you eagle, double, birdie, narrowly misses a birdie putt on 18.
AMY OLSON: Wow. I had no idea.
