Q. Good final round to hopefully finish in the top 10 here at the AIG Women's Open. How are you feeling after today?

OLIVIA COWAN: I feel good, yeah. The weekend was a nice little weekend to finish on, so played really well, and it was just a grind out there both days, quite windy. I knew that I had to battle through it. Really enjoyed it.

Q. What do you think the key was for you to push up the leaderboard like you have?

OLIVIA COWAN: I had one goal all week and that was to have a good mentality. I didn't want to get angry at any shots, disappointed or anything. If I had a bad hole, I just wanted to move on from it and focus on the rest. That's what I was trying to do and I think that's what helped me.

Q. You've had such a consistent four rounds here. How much confidence does that the fact that you've been able to play solid every day?

OLIVIA COWAN: A lot of confidence. I've been playing well all year, so it's nice to them play well in such a big event, as well. So yeah, I'm excited for the rest of the year.

Q. Obviously you're here in England, lots of connection, have you had lots of your friends come out to watch?

OLIVIA COWAN: Yeah, I had a lot of family and friends come watch me and support me and that's been nice every day. It's just nice to see a friendly face when something can't going quite your way on a hole, so yeah, that was nice.

Q. This will be your best finish in a major championship. How much does that mean to you that you've been able to do somewhere that you're used to and you know so well?

OLIVIA COWAN: Yeah, it's really nice to do it down here where I just have all of that support. I think that means a lot to me. Yeah, just really happy with how I played, and I think I've been waiting for it, so yeah, pretty good.

Q. And going into kind of next week, the next few weeks, what place do you think you're in with your game and how can you push on?

OLIVIA COWAN: I think just keep doing the same thing I'm doing. Just good mentality is my only goal. If I play four rounds and I'm proud of how I've dealt with situations, then I'll be proud whatever score will be on the scoreboard.
