Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Esther Henseleit after round 3. Can you take us through your round, some of the easy parts, some of the challenges? I know it was a bit of an up-and-down day.

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Yeah, I started pretty solid. Some pretty average pars to start off with. Then yeah, had a bogey on 4 because I was kind of blocked out by the tree after my drive. Then had some good chances, made some birdies, and yeah, in the end, just again, two bad shots, but kind of left me out of position, and then two more bogeys. But overall it was a pretty solid day.

Q. How was the course playing differently, if at all, today?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: I think it was pretty similar to yesterday. Maybe the wind was a bit stronger. But still, nothing crazy.

It's definitely firming up a little bit, but it's still playable and really good setup.

Q. Were you feeling any nerves or any anxiety about playing in the lead group at all?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Not really. I mean, nothing special, really. I just tried to enjoy it and make the best out of it. I did enjoy myself today, so that's good.

Q. A couple of strokes back going into tomorrow. Does that change your game plan or mentality at all? Are you going to be aggressive or conservative tomorrow? What are you looking to do again?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Just concentrate on my own game. There's so many girls around the lead, so I guess it's going to be like around 20 people still playing for the win. Yeah, just try to go out and shoot something low and see if it's your day tomorrow.

Q. Having won on the LET tomorrow, does that give you confidence and a confident mentality out here? I know we've talked about some of your challenges out there, but you are a champion.

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Yeah, I know that I can shoot really low rounds on Sundays to win. Yeah, I'm just going to try to do my best and see what happens in the end.
