Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Nelly Korda coming off her first round at the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give. Just talk me through some of the highlights of the round today for you.

NELLY KORDA: I think the biggest highlight actually was my bogey save on the first hole.

It was very interesting start to the round, but after that I kind of got grips of everything and stayed pretty steady.

Made two bogeys and seven birdies in this wind, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Q. Being out on the course today, I know you have been out for practice rounds, but being out today and playing, did that bring back any specific memories or anything from last year's big win?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, for sure. It's so nice to be back, just in the city of Grand Rapids, too. It's super nice. I really like it here. Everyone is so welcoming and the crowd really gets behind this entire event and the city gets behind this entire event.

I just really enjoy being here. I like the golf course and I like the atmosphere.

Q. Let's talk about some of the big challenges of the round. You mentioned the wind. Anything else besides that?

NELLY KORDA: You know, it's poana greens, so they do get bumpy in the afternoon. They've had a lot of traffic on them, so the greens and the wind definitely played a big role in probably why it was probably playing pretty difficult in the afternoon compared to in the morning.

Q. And strategy playing the morning? Anything different?

NELLY KORDA: Same thing. Yeah, same kind of attitude every day.
