Q. It was a terrific start and a terrific finish with that nice birdie at the 18th to shoot 64. That ties your low here. What did you do yesterday to keep yourself in the game and mentally prepared to come out here strong?

LEXI THOMPSON: Absolutely nothing. Didn't really have the choice. Just stayed in my room all day. I did two workouts and was jumping around my room just trying to keep busy. I didn't do too much. Just relaxing my mind and my body and making sure I was ready to come in today.

Q. We talked so much about how this is now a 54-hole event. Kind of becomes more of a sprint. How important to get off on the to a good, low round?

LEXI THOMPSON: Yeah, it's very important. With one round shorter, definitely want to get off to a hotter start. You know, I was just trying to stay in the moment today. My game was in a good spot and been putting in a lot of time, hard work, so it's nice to see it pay off.

Q. All in all, the course was in great shape considering the amount of rain that fell. What kind of adjustments did you make out there with the wet turf to enable you to hit some really good shots?

LEXI THOMPSON: It really is in perfect shape. Even with the amount of rain, just the superintendent and everybody that just works out here just did a great job to get it in perfect shape for us.

I mean, I caught a little bit of a flier because I do get steep in my shots, so I caught a little bit of a flier on my second shot on No. 2 and kind of (indiscernible) off the green.

But I have to be careful with that. Sometimes I need to take a little bit off the next club and just get a little bit shallower.

Q. Yeah, just like did you there at 18. Well done. Nice 64 today.

LEXI THOMPSON: Thank you, appreciate it.
