Quick Quotes

Q. Stephanie, just how much fun have the last four days been?

STEPHANIE MEADOW: Oh, it's been awesome. I think just team events in general are really fun, but when you get to play with someone like her who's a good friend and obviously a great player and kind of a legend, I learned a lot this week, so I think -- unfortunately I didn't have my best stuff today, but I still had a lot of fun. Yeah, it was one of those days.

Q. Cristie, being able to roll in three birdies on the front nine, that helped you catapult up the leaderboard. What was going right at the beginning?

CRISTIE KERR: Got off to a hot start and then kind of cooled off a lot. But to win this thing, even in alternate shot, that one or two extra putts a day going in, we had so many good putts the last two days that didn't go in, and that's kind of the difference. We gave it our all, though.

Q. Steph, you said you learned a lot from her this week. What are some of the tidbits that you'll take with you?

STEPHANIE MEADOW: She's just fearless, and I could sense that she wants to win and I wanted to win, but there's no backing down in her, there's no fear, and that's what makes her so great.

Q. Cristie, what were you able to pick up from Steph this week?

CRISTIE KERR: Well, there's definitely -- I'm not like fearless, but when you're playing with a partner in best ball -- hopefully I didn't put any pressure on my partner, but Stephanie has got a lot of heart and she played really well all week.

Sometimes in these formats, you look at the Korda sisters only shooting 1-under the second day in best ball, you never know what you're going to get. You just have to try your hardest, and Steph has got a ton of heart and a very, very bright future ahead of her.
