Quick Quotes

Q. Let's start with today's round. You had three birdies on the scorecard, Nos. 2, 9 and 10. Which one of those maybe stood out maybe a little more than the others?

CAROLINE INGLIS: I think it just played different today because it was so wet compared to the practice rounds, so the par-5s weren't as short as reachable because it's so wet out there. So I kind of had -- on a couple of them I had to lay up and just hit good wedges in there, so 9 and 10 back-to-back were both good wedges in there and good birdie opportunities.

Q. Do you remember the last time you played a par-73?

CAROLINE INGLIS: Maybe junior golf.

Q. It's been a while.

CAROLINE INGLIS: Yeah, it's been a minute.

Q. Are the par-5s reachable when it's not that wet?

CAROLINE INGLIS: Yeah, like in the practice rounds I was having like 5-hybrid in. Some of them with 3-wood, but some of them with shorter clubs in. All of them were reachable in the practice rounds, yeah.

Q. And then today what did you have in?

CAROLINE INGLIS: Today some of them with the wind and the rain this morning, I was like it's one, not reachable, and two, not worth it, so I was just hitting smarter lay-up clubs. I almost reached No. 3, but the rest of them I just laid up.

Q. What kind of lay-up clubs are we talking about, 7s, 8s?

CAROLINE INGLIS: Yeah, 18 I hit a 4-iron, 1 I hit a 4-hybrid.

Q. I guess we've had rain; did you experience rain in the practice rounds?

CAROLINE INGLIS: No rain in the practice rounds. But I don't mind rain. I'm from Oregon, so I don't mind rain at all. It's fine.

Q. Is this similar to home, like the weather?

CAROLINE INGLIS: In the summer, no. It's hot at home right now. But this feels like a winter, a spring day in Oregon kind of, yeah.

Q. You've made the cut the last three starts out, providing a little boost in getting back into Caroline Inglis form?

CAROLINE INGLIS: Yeah, it's a rough start to the year, so the last three events have been better, and just trying to give myself more opportunities to play. I don't feel like my game is far off, it's just a matter of scoring better.

Q. Have you ever played an event like this with the men?

CAROLINE INGLIS: No, I haven't. I didn't play in the Vic because I was injured, so this is the first time I've played, but it's fun. It's different.

Q. What do you think of it? You see a men's group behind and a men's group in front, do you see what they're doing?

CAROLINE INGLIS: I didn't really see at all today, no. But it's fun. It's different. I like it.
