Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Hannah, coming off your performance last week, coming in with a nice solid round to start the week, how are you feeling after day one?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I played good today. I missed a couple short putts but then I also jacked lot of long putts for me, so I was pretty happy.

But made some really good up and downs, so just kept the momentum going.

Q. What were some of those long putts out there that you talk about?

HANNAH GREEN: I holed a good par putt on the par-3 down the hill. I don't know what -- it's like 13 or something, so my fourth hole of the day. Made like a six-footer there.

Then on the 5th hole I holed a putt from off the green for birdie. It was like, I don't know, a 15-meter putt, so that was really nice. I just wanted to two-putt that, let alone for it to go in the hole.

Just made some, yeah, good five-footers as well to keep the momentum going.

I feel like if you miss one early it kind of just makes you not so confident out here, because even this morning was starting to get a bit bumpy.

Q. I know you kind of rebounded off that bogey though with your front nine with a couple birdies. How did you feel finishing today? I know this course can feel exhausting.

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I actually do feel really exhausted. I played with May and I asked her if she's going to have a nap this afternoon and she said yes. I said, yes, I probably will, too.

No, it is a hard course. Like got to take it easy as much as possible. I think I'll do a little bit of practice, but not a whole lot today.

Q. I know last week, a totally different course than what we're heading up this week.

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah.

Q. What's the mindset as you prepare for a course like this? What was your mindset, strategy as you're kind of rested but also want to carry the momentum from last week?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I had no idea what the scores would be like, but then I heard the Monday qualifier was quite low. I was like, okay, I can kind of see that. With a lot of short par-4s you've got wedges in hand. You hope you're going to hit them close.

But it's a good course. It's going to be tough to like hole putts I think come Sunday, keep that momentum, and just stay patient.

So I'm liking the way my game is trending, so hopefully I can just, yeah, keep this going for the next days.

Q. What were some of the positives you took away from last week that can transfer into a course like Palos Verdes?

HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I felt like I hit the ball really good last week. And even when I didn't hit it well I was still hitting greens, which is important here. There is a couple places you don't want to be. You can really shortside yourself here.

Today I did shortside myself a couple times but managed to get away with it and make up and down. Yeah, it's just nice to know that my ball striking is there, and if I keep putting well I can be up there.

Q. When you say something like that, what's the first hole that you think of from today?

HANNAH GREEN: On the last hole actually, the 9th hole, I guess. I hit my shot out of the bunker and slipped, from the fairway bunker, so I had like a 37-meter shot with a very tight, yeah, pin position.

I mean, luckily the wind was in my favor, into the wind, so I could throw it up in there. Yeah, probably not where I was wanting to leave myself.

Q. Definitely a little luck sometimes. Congratulations on a nice first round and go take that nap.

HANNAH GREEN: Thanks, Megan.
