Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Gianna Clemente. I mean, I know not what you wanted, but just assess the week.

GIANNA CLEMENTE: You know, I had a lot of fun this week. Obviously not the result I wanted, and I knew after I just didn't give it my best yesterday, it just -- I just didn't play well enough to put myself in a good position.

I knew it was going to be difficult. I had it kind of going and then I kind of gave a couple shots back. It is what it is. It happens. I kind of had a chance maybe the last five or six holes, but I kind of -- every birdie that I made I gave it right back.

So it's a little disappointing. I would being lying if I said I was happy with it. It's been an amazing experience again.

Q. 14; to be honest, this is all gravy, right? You're really growing, try to learn out here. What have you taken from this week in particular? Obviously learned a lot last week. But being in your home state at a golf course you know, what did you learn?

GIANNA CLEMENTE: You know, I think I learned about my game. My game needs a little bit of work. My short game needs a little bit of work.

There are some things I'm going to work on when I get back home. I'm going to take a couple days off and just kind of reset, and then I'm just going to go forward and hopefully play some more good golf in the fall.

Q. Out of all your play this week, do you have a favorite from your time at the Dana?

GIANNA CLEMENTE: Favorite memory?

Q. I'm leading you here.

GIANNA CLEMENTE: I would say just probably walking up the first fairway with my dad. I know my dad has been waiting so long to walk up LPGA fairways with me.

Just kind of seeing like the crowds like by the first tee box. Obviously it's nothing like the Canada crowds, but just walking up fairway with my dad and just having fun with my dad out there; just we're creating really good memories.

Q. What's the next event or next Monday qualifier, I guess?

GIANNA CLEMENTE: So I have the Kroger Monday qualifier coming up, and as I said before, I'm going to take one or two days off and reset and then just work hard for the next one.
