Quick Quotes

Q. All right, to end the day just two off the lead, just take me through what this third day was like for you.

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: Yeah, it was a bit of a challenge really. I hit it really bad off the tee. I started off on the 1st with a ball out of bounds and then one in the water on 9.

Just try to really work my butt off to not play myself out of it. It wasn't a good day. Yeah, as I said, struggled a lot off the tee so it was really -- I'm really happy that I didn't just throw it all away and I still have the chance tomorrow.

Q. To still be up in it, in contention, being able to put in that kind of work, what will you do now before you get ready for tomorrow?

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: I'm going to call my coach and then I'm going to hit some balls trying to figure out what it is, if it's just timing or what was going on off the tee.

And then going to have dinner with some friends tonight and then just chill out. Tomorrow is a new day.

Q. Absolutely. When you kind of see that happening on the course, when you have to kind of decompress and think back into yourself, what do you lean on in those moments?

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: I lean a lot on like what my coach and I talk about, trying to figure out what is it normally that happens when I have this miss.

Then I'm trying to do some different things and put some good swings on. I did find something here and there, but obviously it wasn't enough to post a low score today. Missed couple putts as well.

So it was kind of a grind. It was one of those days where you could have walked out of here completely out of the tournament, so I'm happy that I at least didn't do that, even though disappointing not being able to follow up on the first two days.
