Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Georgia Hall. Nice way to start your week here in Arkansas. Just evaluate your round out there today.

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I played pretty well, pretty steady. Holed some good putts towards the end and it was nice to finish with three in a row.

Q. Played this golf course quite a lot I'm assuming and know it's kind of a birdie golf course. You made quite a few of them. Did any of them stand out?

GEORGIA HALL: On 7 I hit driver 3-wood just right of the green on the par-5 and gave myself a really easy up and down.

On 9 I hold kind of a 30-footer, strong left-to-right putt, which I'm not the best at left-to-right putts recently, so happy to get that birdie.

Q. What have you been working on with the left-to-righters?

GEORGIA HALL: Just visualizing the line more, concentrating on my stroke, because I get a bit too mentally kind of into my stroke instead of where I'm want to start the ball.

Q. Out here greens are tricky. You have a lot of those putts. How did you stay patient today?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, it's really hard to stay patient sometimes because you can get a lot birdies out there. I just tried my best to, especially after a quite slow front nine, just to hang in there and try and stick it as close as possible to give myself more opportunities.

Q. Obviously good start today. Two more rounds left; 54-hole tournament. What did you learn today that you will take with you tomorrow to go super low?

GEORGIA HALL: I think just be slightly more aggressive. It's really important to hit the right clubs into greens here because it's so soft. You need to hit it as close as possible.

But I think keep doing all the same, give myself as many birdie opportunities as I can.

Q. Sorry one more. How hard is it with the soft greens when you're seeing shots rip back at you? What do you think about with club selection?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I mean -- nor were we playing with full yardage, so it's playing a little bit longer. If I have 145 to the pin, I need to land it 145, which is very kind of different and weird.

But it's just controlling your spin going into greens, especially with the short clubs.
