Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Nelly, for you, what a bounce-back effort there at the end. Overall thoughts and feelings after four days here in Hawaii.

NELLY KORDA: You know, I'm happy with a second finish. You never complain finishing second in a tournament. Left a lot out there, but Lydia played so well. It was her time.

But, yeah, every single time I put myself into these positions I learn from it. And my putter was definitely -- if there is a way for my putter to be dead, ice cold, my putter was dead today.

So, I mean, like it just happens in golf. You have these days. And thankfully I came in with a couple birdies and I fought back to finish tied second.

Q. Exactly. What are you going to be focusing on and working to improve as you head to L.A. next week?

NELLY KORDA: Well, I'm 0-2 out there right now, so making the cut, yeah. Again, it's just like putting out there. Can't stay aggressive, so just getting a good game plan and hopefully goes my way.

Q. Just thoughts of Lydia being able go so low out there today. What was it like playing next to her and seeing that kind of fall into history?

NELLY KORDA: I mean, she was on her game. She's worked really hard the past couple years. She hasn't won since, what, '18? She's been knocking on the door.

So hats to have to her. She played amazing four days out here, and she deserves it.
