Quick Quotes

Q. Another great win from Megan and Lexi. Megan, highlights for you from the day today.

MEGAN KHANG: Early on, right off gate again not the tee shot we may have wanted, but at the end of the day, Lexi said, Put me on the green, I'm making that putt, and sure enough, put her on the green and she made the putt, and we walked away halving that hole, where I'm sure people thought we might go 1-down after 1.

But just to start off hot like that it was an incredible feeling. We both made some very good putts. Lexi made a really good 4-, 5-footer on, what, the par-3, 3. I was, like, oh, you made like a dicey bogey putt on what, 5? No, 6.

LEXI THOMPSON: Oh, yeah, 6.

MEGAN KHANG: I didn't think I hit it that hard, but...

LEXI THOMPSON: It ended up being okay. But she made so many clutch putts too and putts that we needed, so that's very important.

Q. How was the back-and-forth between you guys? I know you went up and then back to tie. How much do you like that, like, energy that that brings to match play, is just all the back-and-forth?

MEGAN KHANG: Preferably, I would like to stay up the whole way. But it keeps you focused, it keeps you going, you know, you look at your partner and go, Let's do it.

LEXI THOMPSON: That's the whole thing, match play, you can never give up, and you never know when it can turn, so you have to stay in it and stay in the moment.

Q. How are you feeling? Three matches in a row. It's a hilly course. How is the energy stamina?

LEXI THOMPSON: We're, like, ready to go.

MEGAN KHANG: Lexi and I are joking in the 18th fairway like, Man, we should do five matches this is week. Let's do it.

LEXI THOMPSON: Yeah, we were, like, ready to go.

Q. How much is the crowd helping with that adrenaline, the environment helping with that adrenaline?

MEGAN KHANG: I think this week is just purely adrenaline. If you feel like you're tired, you forget about it because the crowd's right there picking you up. You have your partner looking at you going like, Let's go. Lexi is literally like, Come on, we can do it. I'm like, I can do it. My little legs can keep up.

Q. Lexi, I definitely know you're in shape enough for this.

MEGAN KHANG: Lexi's a beast.
