Q. All right, here with Elizabeth Szokol after the first round of the Kroger Queen City Championship. Great first round; bogey-free 66. Can you walk us through the six birdies you had?

ELIZABETH SZOKOL: Yes. The two par-5s on the back nine, my first nine, were close to reachable for me, so two-putted No. 12 for a birdie and then got up close on 15 and got up and down for a birdie as well.

And then the fairways are running out a lot so I had a lot -- I hit a lot of fairways and had a lot of just flip wedges in and made some good putts.

Q. Awesome. And this today ties your second-lowest round this year. The last time you shot 66 was last week in Portland. Anything about your game clicking right now?

ELIZABETH SZOKOL: I'm hitting it a lot better off the tee, which is great. I hit a lot of fairways today. I think I only missed one fairway, so just giving myself a lot of opportunities for good wedge shots in and iron shots in, and that's helped a lot.
