Quick Quotes

Q. Really solid 4-under 68; what did you find out on the Bobcat course that was working for you?

KIM METRAUX: Just played pretty consistently. Didn't miss many greens, and had a lot of close looks. Didn't drop that many putts, but overall a solid day and never really too stressful, so I was pleased with that.

Q. Coming from the LET to Florida, I'm sure that's a bit of a culture shock and golf-style shock for you. How have you found yourself adjusting this week?

KIM METRAUX: I haven't played on Bermuda in a while, so that was the biggest change, but other than that I've been here before and played Q-school before, played Symetra before, so it's not something that's too unknown for me, but yeah, definitely coming back on Bermuda was the biggest thing.

Q. Looking ahead to tomorrow, what's the game plan for the Panther course? How are you planning on attacking it?

KIM METRAUX: Just keep a good strategy, keep hitting fairways and then hit the greens. Whenever it's a tucked pin, just go for the middle of the green and hit as many greens as possible and then hope I can droop a few putts again.

Q. It's been quite a few weeks for the Metraux family with your sister Morgan locking up her LPGA Tour card. How excited are you for her?

KIM METRAUX: Super excited. Now I'm going to try my best to join her, but yeah, it's been hard to follow from afar. Always refreshing all the time the scoreboards, especially the last event was very stressful for us, looking from the outside because I wasn't on-site. But yeah, definitely super excited for her and quite inspiring for myself, as well.

Q. Did you all push each other a lot when you were younger?

KIM METRAUX: Yes, always have. Just haven't been together a lot this year, but we've always been super supportive of each other, and whenever we get to practice together, we push each other, as well. Yeah, it's a great boost.

Q. What words of advice or wisdom did she have for you this week?

KIM METRAUX: To just trust myself and go and do what I'm able to do, not to put too much pressure on myself and just play my game.

Q. Speaking more to Morgan, watching your sister having that accomplishment, does that make you hungrier when you're coming out here?

KIM METRAUX: Yes, definitely. It gives me -- yeah, it just makes me -- because she did it, I'm probably also able to do it myself, so yeah, definitely a good boost for myself.

Q. When it's this hot, how do you keep the mindset in check for tomorrow?

KIM METRAUX: Yeah, just focusing on one hole at a time. There's a lot of golf holes to be played before the end of qualifying, so not thinking too much ahead of myself and just focusing on the shot I have to hit.

Q. What experiences from the LET did you bring with you into this week?

KIM METRAUX: I think I'm a lot more calm now on the course, thanks to that, because I've played in a few great events recently with very good players, so just -- yeah, it's a bit less stressful I would say.

Q. Your dad is on the bag this week?

KIM METRAUX: Yeah.

Q. Is it fun to have your dad on the bag?

KIM METRAUX: Well, I haven't had him on the bag for a while, but I just needed to have someone familiar that could give or say the right words at the right time. That's what I had been missing a bit the last few weeks. So just to have that is really nice.
