Q. Here with Brittany Lincicome coming off her final round here at ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer.

Tied for third. Can you just take me through some of the ups and down of your round today?

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Yeah, it was super calm on the first couple maybe through 12, 13 holes. Then I just haven't been in this position in a long time, so definitely kind of felt the nerves.

Just a couple errant shots here and there that cost me some strokes, and then unlucky on 17. The ball just kind of wiggled a little bit so I three-putted and just didn't get the birdie on 18.

Finishing third being seven months pregnant, just being out here competing, being in contention, means the world. It's cool to be in here talking to you guys again. I haven't done that in a while.

Just so many positives this week. Just so happy to play so well.

Q. You are a former champion at ShopRite. Did anything about this rounds bring back memories?

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Yeah, so when I won then I had a hard chip on 18; had to get it up and down to get the win. So just every hole reflecting back on I did it on 18; surely I can do it on the other holes.

The course sets up so good for my game. A lot of holes right to left. I like to hit the draw. The wind was super helpful today just with a lot of the right-to-left holes, so I took advantage of those. Drove it well all week.

It's just a fun place to come play.

Q. As you mentioned, you are pregnant, few months along. Obviously it's not affecting your game at all.

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Yeah, 12 weeks to go. Everyone was like, you should just shut it down. I haven't been playing, which they were right. I haven't been playing well.

But to go and sit at home and not play I felt like time was going to go by slower.

I was like, okay, I'm going to go play hopefully next week and through KPMG, and then go home and kind of get everything ready. We haven't bout anything. Obviously we have a child before so we should have everything, but I haven't gone through anything to get anything ready because I figured I'm going to have so much time after.

Yeah, we're 28 weeks now and just moving right along so it's been great.

Q. I want to ask about the competition. You played with Nasa and Lindsey Weaver-Wright, who is about to go into a playoff.

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Yeah.

Q. Does playing with such good competition help you play better yourself?

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Absolutely. Nasa got off a fantastic start. She was like 4-under I think through the first five holes. So I just kind of thought in my head if I could keep up with her, she's such a wonderful player, always in contention, if I could keep up with her that I was going to be doing pretty good.

I tried not to look at the leaderboard, so didn't see a leaderboard all day to know where I was. I was just kind of, if I can keep um with Nasa then I'm doing pretty well. I tried to do that most of the day. Just the last couple holes kind of got me.

Q. You play ShopRite almost ever year.

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Yeah.

Q. What is it you like so much about coming to this tournament and playing here?

BRITTANY LINCICOME: I think it's just like I said, the course sets up really well for my game. Super convenient staying here on property. Everything is just right there where you need it to be.

The folks that run this tournament do a fantastic job. ShopRite is awesome. So just a fun place to come and play.
