Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Aza, in just your second event back, second cut made in a row for you and a 5-under day today. How are you feeling after day two?

AZAHARA MUNOZ: I'm a bit tired. I'm not going to lie. I've been up since like 4:00 in the morning. It's been good. I told you last week that I haven't been practicing long hours, but I've been practicing really nicely.

I switch coaches and we been working on some really good stuff. Last week the first couple days I was pretty unsettled. Like it's kind of hard to start competing again after ten months.

Yesterday I felt a bit like that. I actually played really well, but was one of those days that one ball bounce too far or one would stop too quick, one of those days.

Today was much nicer. I hit so many good shots and pretty much every -- well, every fairway but one. So, you know, it was really nice. It was really nice to put a nice round together.

Q. Do you feel even more comfortable in your game? As you said, you switched coaches, you're working on things. Being back out in competition, now that you have one event under your belt, do you feel more comfortable out there?

AZAHARA MUNOZ: Yeah. But at the same time, call me stupid, but last week I made the cut and everyone is like, oh, my God, that's so amazing.

So then this week I came here and I was actually nervous. I'm like, oh, my God. Now I have to play really well. It's silly.

Monday and Tuesday I was like, oh, my God. I really want to play well. Wednesday came along and, yes, playing four rounds last week really help, and especially having a good weekend.

You know, when you have a three, four-footer to make it's kind of nice when you've made a few of them.

So definitely, I'm really happy that I'm going to get another four rounds.

Q. What does it mean to go back home after a round like that and share it with the little one?

AZAHARA MUNOZ: Yeah, he's going to be sleeping today. I have to wake him up to feed him at 9:00. It's amazing. To be honest, I was thinking this morning how my tee time was at 2:00 pm, and we been up since 5:00 because he's teething and all the fun stuff.

I haven't even thought about golf. Like before sometimes I would start thinking about the round and what would I do today, what if I play good, what if I play bad. Today I was just playing with him, feeding him, doing this. I was like, this is actually nice.

So, I mean, it's amazing. He's such a good little boy and he's so chunky, so cuddly, so I can't wait to be back.
