Quick Quotes

Q. You just played your first round here at the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship. Can you talk us through your round today?

VANESSA RICHANI: It was interesting. I think at the beginning, I was a little nervous. I had some first tee jitters, but then towards the end, I kind of picked it up, which was nice. I got two birdies on the back, or one. I don't remember. It was a blur, to be honest.

The back nine I was just trying to stay with it and stay positive out there. I was putting okay. I feel like the greens were playing pretty fast as it started warming up. I was playing pretty well for my first round.

Q. Are there any holes that stood out for you today?

VANESSA RICHANI: Probably hole 17. I hit a really good shot in and I made a good birdie on that hole and I feel it just gave me that momentum and ended the round off on a positive note, which was nice.

Q. What are you going to take from that for tomorrow? What's your plan?

VANESSA RICHANI: I think just start off like very calm and try to maybe like, I don't know, listen to a song before the tee shot to calm my nerves. Just do the same thing, just play golf out there and let things happen as they're going to happen.
