Quick Quotes

Q. Jenny, what a great week here at Golden Ocala. How do you feel now that the week is over?

JENNY COLEMAN: Relieved. I tried to keep it as calm and focused as possible, but now I can finally just relax.

Q. How satisfied are you with your finish this week?

JENNY COLEMAN: Very. I'm glad I just kept it going strong all week, kept to my strategy. Go at the holes you know you can go at and when you don't, play it safe and just be patient.

The putts weren't quite dropping today, but just stayed patient and then I got that bomb on 17.

Q. After such a crazy year in 2020, what does it mean to you to start the 2021 season so strong?

JENNY COLEMAN: It's so nice to have worked so hard and finally my game is kicking into gear. Last year was just, man, just kind of plodding along. Now I'm finally getting after it.

Q. Where do you think you can take this from here? Do you feel like this is a career-changing week?

JENNY COLEMAN: Yeah, it helps boost my confidence and know I have the game to be out here and I deserve to be out here, what I'm doing is working well, and just keep on that and even turn it up a notch.

Q. What were your goals at the start of the season? Do you write them down?

JENNY COLEMAN: No, not really. I just kind of focus like one day at time and just play the best I can. Just one shot, just keep it very simple, not look too far out, because otherwise that makes you a little too nervous if you're thinking too far out.

Q. Was there anything in college golf or anything that you feel like prepared you or helped to you deal with playing in the penultimate group in an LPGA tournament?

JENNY COLEMAN: Yeah, I played in college and I've had a college win, and that was kind of that feeling where, Okay, with the people right behind me, I was leading after the first one, two, days and got into the third day and still chugging along.

I remember it was at New Mexico and I ended up shooting like 11-under total and won by 8. I just kept powering through. And then, yeah, like professionally Symetra last few seasons, especially in 2019, came close a lot few seconds and thirds. Just keep going. It's going to be my time soon.

Q. What did you guys do last night? Binge watching anything?

JENNY COLEMAN: Last night, no. We just did a little quick practice after the round and then swung over to Chipotle, saw a couple girls, and then just showered up, hanging out, talked and bit, and not much. It was time to go to bed and rest up.

Q. Did you feel a lot nerves today?

JENNY COLEMAN: More before the round I think. The first three rounds I was pretty calm like all week, and then a little bit before my round I was getting a little anxious. Once I tee'd it up I was in the zone.

Q. Just couple more from me. What does it mean to have a sister you're close with that you can bounce ideas off each other?

JENNY COLEMAN: It means everything. It's just like she's a high level golfer, too, and we can just be like, Oh, what kind of shot are you seeing here, how is my swing looking?

And, yeah, just toy around with different things of. A little more creative in her shots and I'm a little more structured I guess. Just playing off those.

Q. Do you ever joke and talk about how if you guys combine some of the things that the other sister has that it would be the perfect swing or something?

JENNY COLEMAN: Yeah, oh, definitely. Yeah, we can could take definitely pieces of swing and we would have a perfect swing. Or like she would drive, I would do the approaches, and then she would have the up and downs. And then putting 50/50. We would be killer like scramble team or something.

Q. Last question from me: We were talking about how starting off the season so strong means a lot to you. What is your goal for the next tournament and how are you going to get prepared for that one?

JENNY COLEMAN: Yeah, just keep to my game plan, play my game, and I know what it is. Just keep the approaches strong and driver, play it to the side that gives you the best angle into the greens. And putting, just keep grinding. It's something I could improve on the most.

Yeah, just get a good read, put the best stroke you can on it and that's all you do. In they fall in, they do. If they don't, they don't.
