Quick Quotes

Q. Fascinating for us to get a little glimpse into how you think around the golf course. One of the things that stood out to me, after you hit a poor shot and you know it's a poor shot, you quickly recovered. Always very positive. Is that something that you try hard to have a positive attitude out here?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: Yeah, I work hard on it. I know that getting angry and staying in that anger doesn't really help me. It's already too late. The ball is gone. I'm just trying to just, Okay, compose yourself. That was bad.

And then trying to look, okay, what do I need to do different for the next shot, and then just let it go and move on and take the next shot.

Q. Talking about that, you obviously did that well a couple years ago. What kind of memories does coming back here bring to you?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: Well, it's just nice to be on site. Last time I left here I was just so -- literally I couldn't grasp what was going on. It's nice to be back. It feels good to be at a place where you have played well, where you have won. It's a nice, comfortable feeling.

I don't feel -- I feel like my game hasn't been that great but I still enjoy it. Like that's the main part of it.

Q. Obviously got some really good news. Epson Tour now. You played for years on that tour. How good of news is that for players out there?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: I think it's great. Just the fact of growing women's golf, and I think -- talent is already broader. The talent is awesome, but it's just going to keep growing. Those girls deserve to play for bigger purses and play in better tournaments.

I think it's awesome. I'm happy to see this, women's golf stepping up and following that trend. I'm really proud of both tours and everything, what everyone has been doing.

Thank you to Epson for wanting to be a part of it lifestyle, because, I mean, I love it.
