Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Megan Khang. Meagan, just your overall takeaways from this week at the Palos Verdes Championship.

MEGAN KHANG: Definitely taking away a lot of positives. Kept myself in it. Unfortunately did not make some putts coming down the stretch, but definitely gave myself a chance to get up there.

Q. We saw those consecutive birdies to start of the round. How were you feeling at the start of the day?

MEGAN KHANG: It was really funny. So the 1st hole hit like a really great shot. Hit the pin, goes in the bunker, and so holed out from the bunker. So that was pretty cool.

And then 2nd hole, same thing. I hit the pin again. I was like two for two hitting the pins. Made the birdie putt.

And then No. 3, really capitalized and hit a nice close one and made birdie there.

Fortunately 5 was drivable, so, again, nice up and down there. Nice little start.

Q. I know the string of pars to end it, I know you're a little bit disappointed, but taking away being in contention almost every single day here, what does that do for your confidence moving forward?

MEGAN KHANG: I mean, it definitely builds it a lot more. Like I said before, I feel like I was playing some good golf; just the scores weren't reflecting it. I couldn't ask for a better final round with Annie out there. We were laughing and cheering each other up the whole round. We told each other we were going to be each another's hype girls.

Q. I was about to ask, playing alongside one of your best friends out on tour, she's got a crowd following her as an USC alum. What does that do for you today? Did it help when you got frustrated or disappointed?

MEGAN KHANG: Annie and are such good friends. We played Dow together the first year and we were kind of joking how it felt like we were at Dow again.

So I know some the USC people, and so it's good to hear -- see familiar faces and hear them cheer us both on.

Q. The putt on 16, I know, frustrating. Was it anything -- did you over-read it or just didn't -- or hit it and didn't go in?

MEGAN KHANG: I can be completely honest. I think I might have rushed it a little bit on my routine. I think I got a little excited and kind of wanted to knock it in and walk away. Unfortunately took two tries.

I gave myself another chance on 17 and 18, and that's its best I could do.

Q. I was going to say, you came back next two holes and at least gave yourself a shot, which I imagine you take some positives away from that.

MEGAN KHANG: Yeah, definitely. To bounce back like that after missing a short one that you should make ten out of ten times, it's definitely hard to walk away making par from that hole.

Again, my caddie was just like, Hey, let's put it behind us and give ourselves two chances coming in.

Q. After a week like this, you feel like your time is coming? First win is around the corner?

MEGAN KHANG: Definitely. Feel like I've been playing some really good golf and I think it's all come together at the right time.
