Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Brittany Lincicome. Just hearing the news about Lexi, what were your first thoughts seeing another woman tee it up on the PGA TOUR?

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Yeah, I thought it was very cool. Actually shocked she's never done it before. She hits it so far, pretty accurate. I think she's going to do great. Obviously rooting for her as hard as I can.

I think it's great that women are doing it. Just brings more exposure to us and women's golf. Who doesn't love that?

Q. When you played, what was sort of your experience and what kind of advice might you give Lexi?

BRITTANY LINCICOME: Yeah, I think everyone was super welcoming. I was super worried that it was going to be really negative or, you know, definitely stay off social media. That's probably where all the negativity comes from.

The media, the players, the caddies, they were all super welcoming, so that made it a lot easier. Like I said, she already hits it super far, so that's great. When I played we got like four inches of rain the night before so the golf course played so long.

Just wasn't ready for it. She has enough length, so I think she'll do great.

Q. What does it take to earn a sponsor invite to get to play among the men on the PGA TOUR?

BRITTANY LINCICOME: I was super lucky, so it was one of my sponsors for the one that I did, the Barbasol. I'm not sure how she got invited to this one. It's Lexi Thompson. Why would you not want her at your event? Everybody loves her. She's so great with fans and spectators. She's only going to bring more positive things, so I like it.
