Q. Thanks so much for joining us after your first round at AIG Women's Open. Even par to start. Can you talk us through your day.

STEPH KYRIACOU: Yeah, it was good. I played pretty steady. I had quite a few putts roll over the edge. I think, if I get my putter going, I could go low tomorrow.

Q. Your thoughts on Carnoustie? Golf's greatest test, what was that like for you?

STEPH KYRIACOU: I'm still fairly new to links golf. Everyone was talking this up, and when I got here, I was like wow. These bunkers are brutal. I think you just need to stay out of the bunkers, but the conditions are unreal.

Q. And the weather conditions today, they've been quite tricky, but how did you find it out there?

STEPH KYRIACOU: It was okay. It kind of got windier as the day went on, but I feel like Scotland definitely could have worse weather. So I'm pretty grateful that it didn't rain that much today.

Q. You just said on the putter that you had a close today. Will you do any work on that this afternoon, or what are you looking forward to tomorrow?

STEPH KYRIACOU: I think I'm hitting good putts, so I think it's like mis-reading it by a little bit. I'll do a bit of practice, but I mean, I could have a good day tomorrow or I could have the same day. So we'll just see.

Q. There were a few birdies out there for you today. What was the main highlight? Could you talk us through some of those?

STEPH KYRIACOU: Probably the two birdies I had, I mean, I actually holed a couple of good ten-footers coming through the stretch, so that was nice. I just birdied the par-5, and then I hit it close on 15, which is quite a hard par-4. So kind of took that opportunity, but nothing too amazing.

Q. Thank you very much for your time, and hopefully we see you again this week.

STEPH KYRIACOU: Perfect. Thank you.
