Q. Super hot final round. 8-under. Quite the comeback after yesterday's round. What do you think was working so well for you today?
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: I mean, the biggest difference was how I felt like in my body and mentally. I mean, I haven't been in that position I was in before yesterday for a while, and definitely affected me. I just got in my own way out there.
So I had a chat with my coach this morning and we decided I was going to go out there today and be a better, yeah, better way of myself. I definitely did that. So that was really nice, to shoot a career low on a Sunday in Hawaii.
Q. You talked about having gone through some mental challenges and working on that side of your game.
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: Yeah.
Q. You worked on the mental side. Did it help you out on the golf course? Did it translate?
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: I mean, yesterday was a struggle and I, yeah, to be honest, I lost it. But coming back today and I was able like even in these windy conditions to stick to my plan a lot better than I did yesterday.
Yeah, it feels really good to finish on a good note after I had two good first rounds and then kind of lost it yesterday. To battle my way back a really nice feeling.
Q. Yeah, bogey-free.
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: Yeah.
Q. You have to be feeling pretty good.
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: Yeah, I am. Definitely. I was hitting the ball really well today. I holed some good putts but not long putts and I had more chances out there. But like, I mean, making up and down from the bunker on 18 to get that finally 8-under was nice.
Q. Are you going to L.A.?
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: Yeah, L.A. and San Fran, so definitely a better feeling than leaving after yesterday. Yeah, I feel like my game is in a good place. It's more like between my two ears it happens. So, yeah, I'm feeling good.
Q. What you focus on in the off-season?
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: I mean, we didn't do a lot of swing changes. It was more about like rhythm and like commitment things. The whole year last year I was hitting the ball well, but I just struggled the get to the ball in the hole. As I did yesterday, I got manage my own way.
Yeah, that's really been what I've been focusing on a lot. Yeah, when I'm good mentally I feel like I can be out there and play the way I want to.
Q. Who's your coach?
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: David Dickmeiss is my coach, and we've been working for eight years I think. He is the coach of Nanna, Emily, and (indiscernible) as well.
Q. What have you learned about yourself this week?
NICOLE BROCH LARSEN: I definitely learned that if I'm good to myself on the course and if I'm the person I want to be out there, then my golf game a good enough to compete out here.
I mean, the first two days and today shows that. Yesterday, I mean, was really bad like (indiscernible), and then today I was like a different person.
So, yeah, definitely learned that I can be out here if I'm good to myself.
