Quick Quotes

Q. Really solid playing this week. Just take us through some of the highlights today.

JACLYN LEE: I think that today is just more about steady golf. Wasn't trying to do anything too fancy out there. Definitely had some mishaps out there with the double on the course, but made a lot of birdies today to try to make up for that.

Yeah, today was just about staying alive. (Laughter.)

Q. And I know you've been battling an injury.

JACLYN LEE: Uh-uh.

Q. How gratifying is it to come out and play so well?

JACLYN LEE: Yeah, it's definitely satisfying to come out here and put in a good tournament, especially after the year that I've had. It's been a solid, steady build from the beginning, so it's nice to be able to prove to myself that I can play at this level and just come back here and make it through again like I did last time.

Q. You had Jay on your bag. He does a lot of caddieing on the LPGA Tour. What experience did he bring to this week?

JACLYN LEE: We actually worked together in my first few events on the LPGA earlier this year. It was nice to have him back again. He knows my numbers and my game, so, yeah, just a good duo.

Q. What are your plans to prep for Q-Series?

JACLYN LEE: Going to go back to Canada and then I should probably head down south maybe a little bit before Q-Series actually happens. I'll probably just take the next week off and reevaluate what I want to do. I didn't plan too far ahead going into this week.

Q. Of course, yeah.

JACLYN LEE: Yeah.

Q. Obviously there are some pretty stout Canadians on the LPGA Tour. What does it mean to you to have the opportunity to continue your career on this tour?

JACLYN LEE: I'm excited. You know, it's nice to be able to play some good golf again and kind of play to the level that I know I'm capable of, so I'll be excited to try and join them back on tour again next year.

Q. What was the injury?

JACLYN LEE: Wrist.

Q. Pretty bad from what I understood.

JACLYN LEE: Yeah. It was nonsurgical, but I did have to take a lot of time off because it was -- I tore some tissue in my right wrist. So, yeah, it was a bit of a bad injury.

Q. When you see kind of like the end like that, does it give you more perspective on the game?

JACLYN LEE: Yeah, no, for sure, because, I mean, right after I got injured I just didn't know if I was going to be able to play golf again. So to be here now from where I started with my injury, it's definitely been a journey.

Q. What are you most looking forward to at Q-Series?

JACLYN LEE: Maybe just to see some of my LPGA friends that I haven't seen in the last few months.

But excited for the competition. I'm going to welcome it with open arms.
