Quick Quotes

Q. Kristyna, very, very many congratulations out there. You're tied for second place at this event. Can you believe what's happening to you right now?

KRISTYNA NAPOLEAOVA: To be honest, thank you very much, it's kind of like a dream. I didn't expect even to get into the event. Like Saudi Golf provided me with an invite, which is incredible. What happened this week, I feel like is kind of like a fairy tale.

Absolutely incredible week. I'm so grateful to be here. Can't wait to come back again, hopefully soon.

Q. What do you think was going right for you this week? I mean clearly everything, but why do you think you've been able to play such great golf here?

KRISTYNA NAPOLEAOVA: I feel like it was actually everything. I couldn't believe that it felt really nice to be here. I felt like I belong here. Just having my coach here, everything, like my caddie he was incredible. He was incredible. He kept me calm.

I had really great groups, to be fair. I just enjoyed every minute of it. Here we are, I guess.

Q. Of course, as you said, who you were playing with, you were playing with some of the biggest names in golf with major winners. Did you have to pinch yourself sometimes that you can believe here you were competing on the same field as them, and in some cases, getting better scores than them?

KRISTYNA NAPOLEAOVA: Yes, absolutely. I couldn't believe two days ago they told me I was going to be playing with Georgia and Anne. I was quite nervous, to be fair, but I really enjoyed it.

They're incredible players, and I really wish I could play with them again any time soon. So, yeah, definitely a great experience for a rookie like me.

Q. Doing so well this week, it must give you a feeling that you can go on and go that extra step and maybe win on the Tour yourself one day?

KRISTYNA NAPOLEAOVA: Yes, I really hope so. I think everyone wants to win, and I hope one day any time soon it will come for me too.

Q. Lastly, this prize money can set you up for the rest of the season. A great week for you, and that must really help for you going forward.

KRISTYNA NAPOLEAOVA: To be fair, I have no idea what's the prize money. I better not to look because then I would be like slightly nervous on the last hole, which I was anyways, so better not to know. It's going to be a pleasant surprise today. We'll see.
