Quick Quote

Q. What was it like, this is the Masters Tournament, everybody in the hunt and you were right there with everyone. What was it like playing that second nine right there?

INGRID LINDBLAD: I mean, it was tough out there. Even if you hit the green, it's not a given two-putt. I've experienced that on the back nine today. And I mean, it's tough out there and then you see the leaderboard and you're like, oh, I'm only one back or I'm leading by one.

So it's a lot of thoughts like outside the golf -- the whole golf experience.

Q. At one point, you were playing 14 tied for the lead.

INGRID LINDBLAD: I have no clue.

Q. What happened on 14?

INGRID LINDBLAD: I did not hit a good iron shot into that green. I was long left and then I just told Thomas, my caddie, I was like, I don't feel like this could end up close to the pin and it just kept rolling. I tried to hit a shot that landed on the fairway and then kind of slowed down a little bit but I didn't hit it that good and just rolled out to about 40 feet.

Left the par putt short and then made a 6-footer or something for par for bogey.

Q. Still right there.

INGRID LINDBLAD: And then I went for the green on 15 and just got up there, hit a 5-wood in so I just thought why not go for it. Then I three-putted that one because I didn't think it would be that fast behind the hole. It just kept rolling and then I missed the birdie putt.

It was awesome out there. The course is amazing. We had a great time. I'm just happy to be here because I know not many people get to be here and the whole experience is awesome.
