Press Conference

Q. Not the result you were hoping for of course, but a lot of positives to take from this week. What did you learn?

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, I mean, I played great this week. Just felt like it wasn't really meant to be. On the back nine hit a lot of good putts; they just didn't go in. Two bad drives that kind of killed me a little bit.

Overall, I mean, I had a chance there on the last, I guess.

Q. That was a heck of a shot.

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah. I heard she birdied and I knew I was two behind going into 16 because there has not been any leaderboards, so I had no idea where I was standing.

So just a lot of positives this week. Felt like I did a lot of good things today, too. Just wasn't meant to be.

Q. And how good does it feel rounding into form leading up to ANA in a few weeks?

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, it's good. The last couple weeks been a little bit of a struggle, so I'm glad things are moving in the right direction.

Q. What club did you hit on the third shot that came so close?

ANNA NORDQVIST: I had 91 yards, so I hit a little 54. It probably flew a little bit longer than expected, but I was trying to carry it a few by.

You know, I hit a good shot there. Missed the putt, but I guess it didn't really matter at the end of the day of the day.

Q. Looked like it was going to go in. Just a heck of a shot.

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah.

Q. Talk about all three days and kind of playing under COVID-19 conditions and how different that is with no leaderboard, anything like that?

ANNA NORDQVIST: I mean, I was a little bit surprised there wasn't any leaderboards. Like the other events we been playing there has been some kind of leaderboards out there.

I mean, it's nice that there are so many houses around. I felt like it was quite a few people watching us. It got really slow there on the back nine basically waiting every shot, and I think that kind of threw me off a little bit.

It was nice turnout, and, yeah, overall it's been -- this is a great stop and everyone loves coming here.

Q. What do you do moving forward from here? Take a week off?

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah. Going back home tomorrow and work on a few things and then be back for ANA.
