Quick Quotes

Q. How was your experience out there today?

RACHEL KUEHN: Oh, my gosh, it was incredible. It's been a long day, been up for a long time. But getting to play Augusta National today is just so memorable. You see this golf course on TV every year at the Masters, and to be able to play it and to walk the fairways is just something I'll never forget.

Q. You're an alum of our LPGA/USGA Girls Golf program. How do you feel growing up playing with girls helped prepare you for this experience?

RACHEL KUEHN: Absolutely. It prepares you for any kind of competitive event. I just think this event is so inspirational for the next generation. Little girls are getting to see us on TV, which is just so cool. Hopefully there's some little girl sitting in the living room that's going to come out tomorrow and think that she can grow up and play in this event too.

Q. Speaking of events at Augusta, next week we'll have the Masters. Do you have any advice after seeing the course today?

RACHEL KUEHN: I think I need to be the one getting the advice, but yeah, the course looks great. Excited to play it tomorrow and excited to watch it on TV the following week too.

Q. What was the most challenging hole out there, do you think?

RACHEL KUEHN: Oh, gosh, that's a tough one. I think some of the par-3s are really tough. Even the par-5s. You just have to be really precise with your landing areas. But maybe 12. Short but you need to be very precise.

Q. What are you most looking forward to tomorrow now that you've gotten a chance to come out here and play it a little bit? What are you looking forward to? You played your way in from the cut this morning too. What's the excitement level like too?

RACHEL KUEHN: I'm so excited. Made it a little more exciting than I probably should have this morning, but I can't wait to go out and play. I just heard I'm playing with Hannah, who I just played a practice round with.

We'll have a ton of fun, chat down the fairways, and it will just be something that I'll remember and cherish forever.
