Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Andrea Lee. I know that was kind of a disappointing 18th hole, but you're got to be pretty proud of your effort so far this week.

ANDREA LEE: Yeah, definitely. Started out the round strong. Had three birdies on the front nine. Just one bogey.

Stayed really patient on the back because I think everyone can agree that the back nine is a little bit harder. Just you know, it was unfortunate the last couple holes. Finished out with two bogeys.

I feel good heading into tomorrow. The game feels good.

Q. How much does it mean to have the support of Palos Verdes Golf Club and the fans and members rooting you on?

ANDREA LEE: It means a lot. This is my home crowd. I live only 15 minutes away from here, so really comfortable and just excited to be in contention for the weekend, for tomorrow.

Q. Speaking of being in contention, what have you found in your game that's allowed to you play such good golf out here?

ANDREA LEE: Yeah, I think it's just really understanding my swing, my putting stroke. Just I guess going about -- like through the process and not thinking about the external factors.

But I think the putter has really been hot in the last couple of months, and so that's definitely been helpful.

Q. 26 days ago today you got your first professional victory on April 3rd at the Casino Del Sol. What would it mean to get your second in a month?

ANDREA LEE: Yeah, it would mean so much. I think the win on the Epson Tour really gave me a lot of confidence getting back and being able to play a couple of LPGA events, not knowing where I would end up before the reshuffle.

So taking it all in stride and just hoping for the best. I'm going to go out there and try it win it tomorrow.

Q. What positive vibes or memories from that win will you draw upon as you are in contention tomorrow?

ANDREA LEE: Yeah, I mean, I won in a playoff, three holes against Lucy Li who I'm also good friends with. I think just I was 1-down going into 17 and made a crazy birdie putt like 50 feet; it was wild.

But, yeah, like I said, just huge confidence booster. Played some really good golf that week and it's nice to see some low scores continuing.
