Q. All right, I'm here with Nicole Broch Estrup after the first round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Currently tied for the lead. What does that feel like headed into tomorrow?

NICOLE BROCH ESTRUP: I mean, obviously really good feeling. Yeah, I mean, it's my first like real LPGA event this year. I played the Scottish and the British, but yeah, first time back in the States this year.

It's obviously a good start.

Q. Is there anything 0special 0about this tournament, why you came over who are for this tournament?

NICOLE BROCH ESTRUP: I mean, I got reshuffled up so that kind of got me into this week and next week. Yeah, these two weeks, and especially this week I have amazing housing. I stayed with them for I think four years and they're like family to me. So it's always a good vibe here.

Yeah, they were out there cheering from the? First hole, 7:30. Yeah, so it's just a really good atmosphere around here.

Q. That's awesome. And back to the golf, walk us through your round and the birdies you had out there. Anything in your game stand out in particular?

NICOLE BROCH ESTRUP: I had a few good up and downs when I was -- when I needed to, and then like my putter was on fire. Not long, long ones, but those birdie putts between three and five meters, yeah, I mean, I basically made all of them I think.

Some days they roll in; some days they don't. They kind of got me going. I had two bogeys out there which was a little annoying, but it happens. Just overall really happy how I especially fought back after the two bogeys.
