Press Conference

Q. How was the day today? You survived the wind.

JANIE JACKSON: If there is anyplace to get first off on tee times, this is the place, so that was nice.

Our first few holes were a little breezy but nothing crazy, so it was nice to get off to a calmer start.

But overall, I hit my tee ball really well and I putted really well, so that was good for me. I feel like after having a difficult week at Chevron, to have a good practice week last week and see some putts fall is a good confidence booster.

Q. Did the wind pick up throughout the round then?

JANIE JACKSON: Yeah, we started getting it on around our fifth or sixth hole, but when we made the turn, that's when it really picked up. The back nine was very breezy.

Q. We had heard earlier in the week from players saying this was going to help long hitters who will be able to push through that. Do you think your length helped you here?

JANIE JACKSON: Yeah, the holes that were downwind, it's funny, in the practice round I laid off on a couple of them, hit 3-wood or hybrid, and today I just hit driver to get myself -- as long as it wasn't somewhere where it was troublesome, I would hit driver just to leave myself a pitch in.

Yeah, some of the into-the-wind holes it definitely benefits for sure, help make it a little shorter.

Q. What did you do during your off week to work on stuff you said you didn't like from Chevron?

JANIE JACKSON: Yeah, so I went back to Scottsdale Friday evening after I missed the cut at Chevron. I took the weekend off just to sort of reset, wipe my memory of the things I did at Chevron.

Then Monday went back to work and spent the week out at Silver Leaf, which is where I play in Scottsdale.

I only had one day where I really sort of grinded it out on the practice facilities. The rest of the days I was on the course. I just feel like I can get more done on the course. I'm more focused on the course making myself play certain type of shots.

I always try to paint a picture, and sometimes that's hard on the driving arrange when I'm just in a wide open space. So I played a lot of golf last week, yeah.

Q. So how are the legs then?

JANIE JACKSON: Oh, I rode in a cart.

Q. You rode, good.

JANIE JACKSON: Yeah, yeah.

Q. How are the legs after this walk? This course is a beast.

JANIE JACKSON: I'm just glad I'm not carrying that heavy bag. But, no, it was nice I feel like to have been able to have the off week to sort of reset. I played -- that was three weeks in a row for me because I played an Epson event before Aviara. It was nice to have a break to reset, sort of regroup physically, emotionally after Chevron.

So that was nice. And then this is a beautiful place to come, so I was ready to get out here.

Q. There are worse places to have to do your job, right?

JANIE JACKSON: Absolutely. I know. I'll take this over a desk job any day of the week.
