Quick Quotes

Q. Kempy, just evaluate the week out there. I know it wasn't the result you wanted, but you played so solid.

SARAH KEMP: Yeah, we did. It's a little disappointing, but at the same time, I think we made everyone in Australia proud by finishing second. I'm proud of these girls. We've done the best ever Australia has done in this tournament. It's obviously a little disappointing, but it's still a big win for us.

I think in a couple years' time, that team is going to do even better.

Q. Minjee, I saw a tweet from Webby last night cheering you guys on. How much fun has it been playing with this team and just having that support from back home.

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, this week has been really fun for me. All the girls are really, really funny. It's just been nice to get to know them a little bit better. I know on the road we don't really get too much time to spend with each other, but maybe we'll have more dinners now after this week.

No, it's been great. Everybody put in their 100 percent, so I'm really, really proud of how we've done this week.

Q. Steph, you played as solid as anybody on this team. What did match play bring out in you this week that you maybe didn't know about yourself before?

SARAH KEMP: She's a bulldog.

STEPH KYRIACOU: I don't know. I guess I've always kind of liked match play even back at home as a junior. I think I just get more aggressive and more -- like I don't know, it just kind of unlocks another level where there's nothing to lose, there's no pressure. Maybe I should try that next week when I normally play.

Q. Hannah, you've had a great couple weeks, winning in LA, playing with this team here. What has this experience in particular meant to you?

HANNAH GREEN: It's been so much fun. To finally be in a team environment playing golf, it's been a lot of fun getting to know the girls, playing such a great course. I'm super proud of how we played. Yes, the result isn't what we obviously wanted, but I think we probably had the most fun this week.

Q. Minjee, from your games this week, you've got a really long stretch going ahead of the rest of the season. What will you take from this experience going forward?

MINJEE LEE: I think I probably haven't been as confident on the golf course, but I know my ball-striking is there. I played really well today. I hit it really good, and I didn't hit that many putts, so I'm not sure how my putting was.

Yeah, I had a lot of fun, and I think it will be good momentum going into next week, which I'm defending.

HANNAH GREEN: I think we all played really solid this week. I know it was a team environment, but I think this is really going to kick start all of our seasons, even though we are six or seven weeks in.

I'm really excited for everyone, and I hope we all do well next week at Founders Cup.

SARAH KEMP: Same, yeah. I got to play with these two, and there's another win coming soon here, and by the way she's playing, there's another win, as well. I think we're all playing pretty well. We can take nothing but confidence from this week going forward.

STEPH KYRIACOU: I feel like the exact same thing. We're all playing good. Just keep doing that, I guess.
