Quick Quotes

Q. Solid week, 9-under. Probably not as low as you wanted to go, but just assess the week.

YUKA SASO: I would say it was really good. There was some room for improvement, and, yeah, overall it was very good, so I won't complain.

Q. Played with Chad Pfeifer and with Brooke Henderson. What was that experience like to play with them yet again and still try to outdrive him?

YUKA SASO: Yeah, it was awesome playing with Chad. You know, like I said, he inspires me, and what he does is so awesome. You know, I think you wouldn't realize how good he is ball-striker-wise. He hits it really good, so I was trying to keep up.

But he's pretty strong, so I probably do more workouts and maybe next time I can outdrive him once.

Q. Talked about the other person in your group, Brooke Henderson. Have you played with Brooke before?

YUKA SASO: Yes, we played few times. Yes, she's a very nice person. Lovely to talk to. Yeah, good person to play with.

And I had a lot of things to learn from her. Obviously she's champion and major winner, too. Yeah it was amazing.

Q. What have you seen in her game that you want to emulate in yours?

YUKA SASO: Ball striking. It's pretty good.

Q. What positives are you going to carry with you down the road to Gainbridge next week?

YUKA SASO: Probably work with overall my game. Probably the putting, you know, it's been up and down this week, so probably get some more consistence next week.

Q. If you graded your game this week, what would you give it?

YUKA SASO: Grade? I'll leave that to you.
