Quick Quotes

Q. Madelene, round of 4-under on day 3 in Scotland. How did you find today? And as you were just saying, got lucky with the weather conditions?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: Yeah, no, I mean, I felt -- I felt better about my game today. I was hitting the driver better from the start, and I kind of found like a good feeling on the range, which was really nice.

And then I was prepared for worse weather. So I was prepared that it was going to be more of a grind, and it kind of ended up not being that. But I think probably that mindset of like just staying patient and grinding it out was probably good for me today.

But probably just really happy it didn't pour more on us.

Q. Yeah. Lots of birdies on your card again. Talk me through some of those out there.

MADELENE SAGSTROM: I think most of them came from the pars 5s, I would say. I didn't really hole much today. I've been hitting my driver and my irons well. I've been finding it quite tricky to putt on these greens. But today I was a lot closer to the edges today, which I was happy with. Yesterday it was everywhere.

So putter is getting better. Hopefully it can help tomorrow.

Q. I was going to say, was there anything that you did after yesterday coming into today to try and reset?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: No, I played late yesterday, so I was kind of just let's go eat and relax. But I knew I kind of needed to find a different feeling for the driver. I didn't have anything with the driver yesterday, kind of put me in a little bit of trouble.

So I knew if the driver is well enough, that I can give myself some chances because I was hitting the irons well.

Q. And in terms of tomorrow, what's your game plan heading into the final day?

MADELENE SAGSTROM: No, I feel -- my game feels good. So I'm just going to keep having this game plan and keep having the same feelings. Hopefully that still works out on the range. And then just hope the putter gets hot. That's all I can hope for.
