Quick Quotes

Q. Birdie on the last to get you into double digits and end this week with a favorable result. How are you feeling after today?

CAROLINE HEDWALL: Well, I was just really pleased with the way I today. 3-under today felt like a good score and I just playing really solid. It was really nice to get that bounce back on 18 and get a birdie and almost an eagle.

Q. Overall what has the last four days been to you and the more confidence in your play as you get rolling with more of the summer swing?

CAROLINE HEDWALL: Well, yeah, that was my mindset this week. I was going to try to trust myself a little bit more because I know that I'm hitting it really well but then when I get on the course, I start doubting it a little bit. I did that really well today and stepped back a couple of times, but just to clear my mind and get good thoughts and I did that really well, so I'm really proud of myself.

Q. When did one time that you did that happen on the course today?

CAROLINE HEDWALL: Well, I think it was on 16, for example, that tee shot, it's a bit tricky with that mound like in the middle of the fairway and I was just not a hundred percent committed it the shot so I stepped in the fairway and walked up to it again and hit a good swing on it.

Q. What does a week like this do for your confidence going into a major week?

CAROLINE HEDWALL: Obviously it's nice to know that my game is solid and I'm in form but then next week is a new week but obviously it gives me a lot of confidence for next week.

Q. And also playing with friends, we are seeing a lot of Swedish names on this leaderboard today. What does that do from a European standpoint knowing the momentum is coming for things coming in September?

CAROLINE HEDWALL: It's just great to see so many Europeans and especially Celine. She's won twice now and she's very impressive. It looks like Europe is going to have a strong team which we are all looking forward to Solheim later on.
