Quick Quotes

Q. Not a super great day but you had a highlight, hole-in-one, had a really nice hole-in-one. Walk me through that shot.

NURIA ITURRIOZ: Well, it was 135 metres shot and I hit a nine iron because there was a lot of wind helping. So the ball went good, a bit on the right, kicked to the left and slowly went to the hole. It was kind of -- it's great.

Q. Saw some photos of your reaction, what was your reaction like?

NURIA ITURRIOZ: Because my caddie was more excited than me. It was cool.

Q. So with your shot, with your ace, you get to donate $20,000 to St. Jude's Children's Hospital to help with cancer research for kids. Being a professional athlete, you have a charitable aspect usually but how cool does it feel to be able to do that?

NURIA ITURRIOZ: I think it's better to know about that, to make the hole-in-one. But yes, my father had cancer and died about cancer, so I'm really happy that I can help in that way at least.

Q. That's an interesting connection to that. Just kind of take me through, like when you heard that, I just told you a minute ago, what kind of went through your mind?

NURIA ITURRIOZ: Well, I'm happy to help in that way at least. It's the minimum I could do. Maybe, I don't know, some day I can help more.
