Quick Quotes
Q. All right, so round one of Stage II done. How does it feel getting to go home and rest now?
KIM KAUFMAN: It feels great. You know, just getting the first round in, maybe calming the nerves a little bit. (Wind) first-round jitters and it was cold, it was windy, and it was hard, and I feel like I battled pretty well.
Happy to go home.
Q. Talking about the weather and the wind, obviously cold front coming through. The course has suffered a hurricane, and tropical storm, now the cold front and some wind. How do you keep positive throughout the round?
KIM KAUFMAN: That's a good question. I think we always say like half the field will let this really get to them, and we work really hard on knowing that, yeah, you might get some bad breaks or some tough holes, but we work a lot o on acceptance.
Just accept that and move on, because everyone is going to have it. You just have to stay relentlessly positive. Acceptance was our big word today. I thought we did a good job of that.
Q. Awesome. Three rounds of golf left, but starting the week, weekend even, how does that feel and how do you take that positive momentum for the rest of the week?
KIM KAUFMAN: Yeah, I think I remind myself there is a ton of golf left. Whether your 80th or 20th, there is so much golf left. But it's good to obviously start playing pretty well and just -- but just do the exact same thing the next three days.
I think it's nice. Today like my plan, my mental game, game plan, all like paid off, which is just to like commit to every shot and keep grinding. So we will try to keep doing that for 54 more holes.
