Quick Quotes

Q. Charlotte, Lottie, you've officially played Augusta National for the first time. What was your experience like?

CHARLOTTE HEATH: It didn't look like what it does on TV. I was quite surprised by that. Everyone says it's more hilly, and it definitely is.

LOTTIE WOAD: Yeah, I definitely agree. It was a lot more hilly than I imagined, and some of the doglegs are a lot sharper than they look on TV, which will be a little bit of a challenge, but yeah.

Q. How did the course measure up to your game and expectations?

CHARLOTTE HEATH: It's almost similar playing-wise to Champions Retreat, so I think that's going to be good for us coming from there.

LOTTIE WOAD: Yeah, the greens are probably a little slower than Champions Retreat, it's just wherever you get a downhill putt they'll be quick, but up the hill they're very slow I'd.

CHARLOTTE HEATH: Uphill is slow and downhill is rapid.

LOTTIE WOAD: So it'll be a little bit of an adjustment.

Q. What has been your favorite part of Augusta so far?

CHARLOTTE HEATH: Just the fairways, like the border sits up like a tee. It's just perfect everywhere.

LOTTIE WOAD: It's much more easy to strike an iron than the tight lies in Seminole.

CHARLOTTE HEATH: You're not going to get a bad lie out here.

Q. What does the opportunity to represent Florida State and England mean to both of you?

CHARLOTTE HEATH: I mean, England has been a big part of our lives since we were quite young, so it's really special to have like three of us out here for that, and it's fun to have like people from FSU here, as well.

LOTTIE WOAD: Yeah, to represent both is just really cool for us and just to show people kind of what we can do really.

Q. What are you looking to improve and capitalize on in tomorrow's round?

CHARLOTTE HEATH: I'm hoping I match up both parts of my game. I had ball-striking yesterday and putting the day before, so hopefully I'll have both.

LOTTIE WOAD: Yeah, I'm just looking to hole a few putts maybe, especially outside six foot. Haven't really holed many of those. Just kind of the same strategy as before, just see if we can move up the leaderboard really.

CHARLOTTE HEATH: Yeah, I think like the key is going to be to like hit it in the correct areas. You can definitely be in some places on the greens --

LOTTIE WOAD: You can't miss the greens in certain spots.

CHARLOTTE HEATH: Even hitting the greens in certain spots you don't want to be there.

LOTTIE WOAD: If you're a lot above the hole, you're going to be struggling.

Q. Do you have anything you want to say to each other before tomorrow?

CHARLOTTE HEATH: Play well.

LOTTIE WOAD: Play well.
