Q. It was incredibly difficult out there today. Tell us some of the keys you had to get the ball round so well today.

SARAH KEMP: Gosh, a bit of everything. The wind was a lot stronger when we tee'd off, so my caddie and I had a talk and we knew pars was going to be a good score for a while, so just really stayed patient, accepting that bogeys were going to be okay.

But, yeah, you really had to keep the ball low for the first few for sure. Yeah, hole some probably inside ten feet for par was really crucial today.

Q. You did that quite well, eagle on the 15th hole. Did you get onto that 15th hole knowing the tee was going to be up thinking, I have a chance here?

SARAH KEMP: I had no idea the tee was going to be up so it was a nice surprise when we got up there. My caddie and I were in between driver and 3-wood, because I hit a 3-wood like 270 at one point - obviously downwind. I saw that upslope and thought, no, it's definitely driver.

Yeah, lovely bonus.

Q. We were just talking before we got on camera here about you being 72nd on the CME points list. Is that something that plays on your mind heavily playing the last few events?

SARAH KEMP: It's all I'm thinking about, to be honest with you. I'm in a really nice position this year. I've pretty much locked up my card and I'm fighting for CME. I am going to head over to Asia for couple events and try and even battle it in there. Yeah, it's my sponsor's event. I want to make it for Terry Duffy and myself. That's all I think about.
