Quick Quotes

Q. Another solid day, 2-under 70. Just take us through your round out there.

KAREN FREDGAARD: Well, I find this course a little bit harder, and I started off with like three mis-hit greens where I got it up-and-down, and then I made a birdie, so I was kind of, okay, back on track. Then I just kind of stuck to it, and I missed some putts out there for birdie and didn't really make it that much today, but just kind of stuck with it.

Q. Those kind of days when it's kind of just a grind, how do you keep yourself focused?

KAREN FREDGAARD: I really just try and take one shot at a time and just like accept that I'm going to hit bad shots. Like I'm not perfect. I just try and save it as good as possible.

Q. Coming in here as an amateur and still I'm assuming planning on playing college for a little bit longer, what were your intentions this week? Were you just trying to see where you stood, or are you really seriously looking at going professional after this?

KAREN FREDGAARD: I really don't know that yet. It's a good question.

I mean, I would like to if it works out, yes.

Q. Looking at what some of your fellow Danes have done this year, is that kind of inspiring for you?

KAREN FREDGAARD: Yes, it is, very inspiring. I follow Nanna and Emily very closely, and they're a huge inspiration for me, especially Emily. She was so good as an amateur and then she struggled a little bit and now she's back on track. It's really a big inspiration.

Q. Do you talk to them at all?

KAREN FREDGAARD: Yeah, I talk to them when we see each other, but it's hard like when we don't -- we're all different places.

Q. How hungry does that make you to add your name to the list of one of the great Dane women's professional golfers?

KAREN FREDGAARD: I mean, I really want that. It's been my dream for a long time, but I'm just trying to stay present with where I am right now, and if it happens now, it happens. If not, like everything happens for a reason. Maybe it'll be next year or the year after. Whatever.

Q. Looking ahead to tomorrow, you've put yourself in a really good spot heading into the weekend. What's the mindset going into Saturday and Sunday?

KAREN FREDGAARD: Just the same, same old. Just follow the game plan. My mental goals are very important for me, and just try to focus on how I want to be as a person out there, and then the score is just a plus. If it's a good round, it's a good round, yeah.

Q. Anything you're working on ahead of the weekend?

KAREN FREDGAARD: Everything.
