Q. Megan, spectacular performance. It's only taken you eight years to get on the LPGA's winner list. Does waiting that long make this victory more sweet?

MEGAN KHANG: Definitely does. Out there, seemed like a struggle out there for me. I've been hitting the ball so good this week and then couple missed fairways, couple punch outs, couple early bogeys, and you look at the leaderboard and you are wondering when you're going to get it going.

Sei Young definitely kept it interesting out there, and I remember I looked at the leaderboard and I was like, oh, Jin Young is up there too now. So it was definitely fun out there.

I just kept talking to Jack the whole day. Like I need you to talk to me because I'm freaking out in my head.

Q. Was there a time in this journey, this eight years, that you thought you wouldn't get here?

MEGAN KHANG: I think it crosses a lot of people's minds. I know my game is kind of trending and it's kind of matured over the past few years, and so I kind of was more so like it's going to happen. It's just a matter of time.

You know, just happened to be at the CPKC Open. You know, this course suited my game very well and I'm just pumped to finally get the first one.

Q. You seemed very cool, calm and collected out there. Where do you find your inner strength from?

MEGAN KHANG: I asked a couple of our assistant captains for Solheim. I asked Angela yesterday; I asked Morgan this morning. You guys have been in this position before. What do you do to stay calm? It's tough to win out here. Eight years is a long time. It's great to get the first.
