Quick Quotes

Q. So coming into the day you were way outside; shot a 5-under 67 to put yourself way inside. What are some of your emotions right now?

SELENA COSTABILE: Definitely really happy I was able to just stay calm all day. That was really my goal for today, just going out and staying calm. Because I know the last day of Q-School I always feel nervous, so just tried to stay calm.

And then, yeah, just really happy I was able to do that all day today.

Q. Ended with a bogey but otherwise a clean card. How do you get those birdie streaks rolling?

SELENA COSTABILE: I was really just focused on being in the present moment and trying to take each shot at a time and not really thinking about the end.

Yeah, unfortunately made a bogey on the last, but that's okay. I'll live with that one.

Q. With all the birdies on the card, take us through some of the highlights of the day.

SELENA COSTABILE: My ball striking was definitely a lot better today. I was hitting it a lot closer and was just making the short putts, so that really helped I think.

The past three days I was hitting it a little too far from the holes so I was making easy pars but nothing really that close. So today I was just able to hit it close and then make the putts.

Q. You're a player that has bit of experience playing Symetra. It wasn't your best season, but what -- how do you reset, refocus heading into second stage?

SELENA COSTABILE: Yeah, I wasn't playing great kind of the middle of my season. Started out well and then just kind of went through a little bit of a slump.

But then towards the end of the season I just tried to focus on what I can control and really focusing on my breathing during the round and staying patient, and I guess it all came together for me today.

So, yeah. Thank you.

Q. How are you going to celebrate making it to Q Series?

SELENA COSTABILE: A nice dinner I think. A nice dinner and some more relaxed vibes. I'm tired from the week. Really tired.

Q. What's your prep going to look like with two weeks of back to back grueling golf?

SELENA COSTABILE: Just listen to my body for the tournament. And, yeah, I mean, we play out on the Symetra Tour back to back weeks, so I'm just going to imagine it's just another two Symetra Tour events.
