U.S. WOMEN'S MID-AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPSeptember 26, 2018Meghan StasiSt. Louis, Missouri Q. It was a struggle today, right? MEGHAN STASI: You know, I didn't feel like I struggled, but the pace of the greens on the front nine absolutely killed me. I think I had three three-putts and I missed a three-footer on 6 for birdie. So I would have been 1-down on 6 if I would have made that. So, you know, I mean, she just played solid. She didn't make any mistakes. So, yeah, unfortunately, I just got off to a bad start putting. Other than that, it was fine. I hit a couple shots here and there that weren't pretty, but what are you going to do. Q. When you get off to a bad start like that, the doubt kind of creeps in, right? You have doubt on every putt almost, right? MEGHAN STASI: No, I don't. Q. You didn't? I didn't know if that affected you. MEGHAN STASI: If you do, then you're really going to lose bad. But, no, I hung in there. I had two three-putts before I got to 6. Never even thought for a minute I would miss that putt. Q. Yeah. MEGHAN STASI: It was a downhill slider, but still. Yeah, I just never give up. Q. Yeah, no, I just meant like -- MEGHAN STASI: It's not easy. You know, she's not going to make any mistakes, so I just kind of -- if you don't get up, and they were a little firmer a little faster today, so... I just didn't adjust enough right off the bat. Q. So tell me a little bit about -- Kelsey's now 11-0 in this championship, I guess, after last year's debut. And I know you've had similar type of runs in this championship. What can you tell me? This is the first time you've played with her, right? MEGHAN STASI: Yeah, I didn't know really anything about her game. So it's just like I said, she just played solid. So I guess that is her game, so... Q. Yeah, yeah. MEGHAN STASI: When you don't make any -- you hit all the fairways and hit pretty much every green, the game's a lot easier. Q. Yes, it is. MEGHAN STASI: And her lag putting was incredible today. Q. Was it? Okay. MEGHAN STASI: So everything looked like it was going to go in. But I had my chances. I just, even when I got to 3-down, I still had some chances and I just didn't make them. Q. And that puts a lot of pressure on somebody when you kind of almost are sure they're going to make pars, right? MEGHAN STASI: Yeah, I mean, I knew I was going to have to make some birdies. I left 8 on the edge, you know, I had some really good chances. Left 9 was pretty good. 10 there were a couple shots yesterday and today, so I'll have to work on that. Had a little blocked shot out to the right. I don't know what that was, but, you know it's tough. Q. Can you say anything else about her, just demeanor-wise playing against her? MEGHAN STASI: Oh, yeah, she's just solid, you know. I think she's probably just based off today a little bit like me. You don't know if you're 3-under or 3-over, you just have that demeanor, which is nice, especially in match play. You don't want to get too excited or too low, you know. So I think that's great for her. Q. Yeah. MEGHAN STASI: So last year was her first year? Q. Yes. MEGHAN STASI: So my first win was my first year, and then second win was back-to-back. So, yeah, pretty exciting. You always want whoever beats you to win. So I'll be pulling for her. I don't know who won the first two, but I'm sure she hung in there. Q. Michelle won? MEGHAN STASI: Who did Michelle beat? Q. Michelle beat Lauren. So it's Michelle and Shannon in the other semifinals, yes. MEGHAN STASI: It's tough. You've still got two more matches. Shannon's been in the finals a couple times. So it will be a fun couple matches to watch. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
