Quick Quotes

Q. Solid finish.

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Uh-huh.

Q. Top 10. How do you feel about the overall effort for the week?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Feel really good. I feel like today I had my worst game, which I guess could be expected a little bit because I played so well yesterday, that a little bit of tension.

But overall was like happy with how I felt like nerves-wise. I didn't really feel too nervous or anything. Just hit a few bad drives that kind of costs me some shots, and unfortunately hit one OB on a good par-5. That kind of cost me.

Overall was happy with how I bounced back from the double and just kept chugging along. That's all you can do.

Q. And the putter keeps growing some confidence?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Yeah, I didn't really make too much today. Just the ones that I needed to make. That's all you can ask for. I don't think I had any three-putts, so that's a bonus.

Q. Quick travel schedule. We go out west now and Wednesday start, match play. How does the mindset and everything first of all change to get into a match play form?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: Yeah, it's a little bit different, but I think for all of us since it's the first year it's going to be like a fun experience. Like not that it's just like a free for all tournament but just something different. Kind of get you going, enjoy Vegas and Shadow Creek, because I'm sure it'll be awesome experience.

Yeah, it'll be nice to just play like one-on-one. I enjoy it. Played a lot of U.S. Am match play, so it'll be fun.

Q. What was your experience in those?

LAUREN STEPHENSON: I kind of got better every year. My last year I think I made it to semifinals, so I feel like I definitely learned how to play match play.
