Quick Quotes

Q. You just finished a round of 2-under. You're 4-under overall. It seemed like a pretty good solid week for you. What are your thoughts on your play this week?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Yeah, I played really well. I really like the greens. They were quick and I normally putt better on quick greens, so I felt pretty good on there.

And, yeah, overall, it was a pretty good ball striking week. I worked a lot on my swing over the last few off-weeks and, yeah, it feels good to be back out here and see some good results.

Q. Where were you during those off-weeks and what were you working on?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: I was back home. It was nice to enjoy some time in Germany. And it's just a few things in my swing, like, my takeaway, like, making the club face a bit stronger and, yeah, it seems to work quite well.

Q. We also had the unexpected off-day yesterday. How did you spend that and do you think it helped refresh you at all for this walk today?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Yeah, I spent most of it in bed, to be honest. I arrived quite early from Germany, so I had still a bit of jet lag over the first few days, so it was nice to get some good sleep yesterday. Yeah, of course it's a bit sad that it's only three rounds, but I guess that was the only way to do it and I hope we can do better next year.

Q. You're coming to the end of a long, drawn out rookie season, who thought rookie year was going to be two years. What has the experience been like and how do you think you have adjusted or matured since you came out on Tour last year?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: To be honest, I don't really feel like a rookie anymore. Last year was pretty hard for everyone, I think. I kind of struggled to get into like the flow of the tournaments.

But this year was pretty good, I really enjoyed to play much and I could play a few in a row and now I really feel like I've arrived here and, yeah, it's good to see some good results.
