Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, I'm here with Yana today. What are your feelings coming off your big win?

YANA WILSON: I don't really know. I don't really have any big feelings. I'm just going to try to do what I did today and just grind it out tomorrow.

I have a pretty good match set up so I'm really excited to see what happens.

Q. Talk us through your round today a little bit.

YANA WILSON: Yeah, I started off kind of slow. Couple pars, made a birdie, and made one bogey on 2.

But the momentum kind of started to shift on hole 8 and everything was just kind of going my way I guess. I just felt really confident.

Q. Around hole 8 do you think you had a little mindset change?

YANA WILSON: I don't really know. I think my opponent did and I just kind of stayed even keel, which worked in my favor.

But, yeah, I mean, that was the one hole where somebody finally won, so, yeah, I would say that it was kind of good momentum change for sure.

Q. What are you feeling going into tomorrow?

YANA WILSON: I don't know. Kind of excited I guess. I've never played Katie Cranston before and I love playing against Canadians I guess. I don't know. (Laughter.)

But, yeah, I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of fun during that match and I'm excited.
