Caitlin Peirce

Quick Quotes

Q. How did it go out there for you today?

CAITLIN PEIRCE: Pretty well. I started okay. I was 1-under through 3, made triple on the 5th, which obviously wasn't great, and then had some birdies coming in, finished at 1-under, which was nice.

Q. You said you made quite a few birdies today. Can you talk us through them?

CAITLIN PEIRCE: All the birdies I had were probably within 10 feet. I was hitting them close, which was nice and then making a lot of putts to save par and bogey really. It was more I was hitting it well today.

Q. Which holes stood out to you?

CAITLIN PEIRCE: I birdied the 9th again from the bunker, which is nice. I did the same thing yesterday, so that was pretty good. Then finished 18 with a birdie, which is a nice way to finish a round.

Q. What happened on that hole?

CAITLIN PEIRCE: I hit my drive up the lift, hybrid just short of the green and then chipped it to a foot, nice tap-in.

Q. Can you tell us about your overall experience this week? What have you learnt?

CAITLIN PEIRCE: This week has been really good. We had a couple of new people in the team, which was nice, as well. For me, it was nice to be able to play overseas again, play in the humid climate, which is a bit different, and the course here is really great, so it was really nice to play that.

Q. What are your plans for the future? What's next?

CAITLIN PEIRCE: There's a tournament at my home club back in Australia in two weeks' time, and then another pro tournament after that. I'll be looking to maybe go to Europe and then the U.S. over the summer this year.

Q. WAAP next year again?

CAITLIN PEIRCE: Hopefully. We'll see how it goes.

Q. Any lasting memories, monkeys or --

CAITLIN PEIRCE: Yeah, the monkeys were definitely an experience. They look cute, but then they get close to you and they're not.
