Today you had the world No. 1 and the world No. 2, Sung Hyun Park. GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, I mean, it wasn't an easy day. It was tough for the three of us. At the end I guess just being in the moment. Q. It's such an emotional win, your first win on tour. Your thoughts about your grandfather yesterday, you spoke about him. Did you pull on that strength during that final round? GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, for sure. I mean, my grandpa passed away a couple weeks ago. I always told him that I was going to give him my first trophy. Sadly I didn't, but he was with me all week long, and I couldn't be more lucky, more fortunate to have him still alive in me. Q. It got close out there on the 12th hole. The lead was cut to just two. GABY LOPEZ: I knew was a couple holes were coming were par-5s, par-3s. I don't know, I guess it was just, You still have a chance. I'm not going to sit and protect it. I'm going to go and attack it, I'm going to go and get it. I'll give it all. If it doesn't go my way, it'll be okay. Q. (Regarding 16th hole. ) GABY LOPEZ: It was actually pretty good. I didn't expect the ball to actually land on top of the hill and it did and it almost went in. That gave my for sure a little bit more belief. Q. You're the first Mexican winner since the great Lorena Ochoa. Will you be talking to her? GABY LOPEZ: Yeah, for sure. I mean, she's been my inspiration my entire life. That's why I'm actually a professional golfer, and I couldn't be more proud of (indiscernible - wind.) Q. (Indiscernible.)
