Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Ingrid, so finished your second stage of Q-Series here.

INGRID LINDBLAD: Uh-huh.

Q. Top of the leaderboard. There is no prize that comes with it or anything like that.

INGRID LINDBLAD: Yeah.

Q. But first out of 188 players has to feel pretty good. Just talk about that a little bit?

INGRID LINDBLAD: Yeah, it's like my first real qualifying playing this week, so I talked a little bit to our coach for the Swedish team and he was like, don't treat it as qualifying. Just treat it as a tournament. I mean, it is a tournament, but it's not a tournament.

Q. Yeah.

INGRID LINDBLAD: So I was like, just treat it as any other tournament and just try to finish up there.

Q. And then you're going back to LSU next year.

INGRID LINDBLAD: Uh-huh.

Q. Talk about that decision to stay amateur and not go on to Q-Series.

INGRID LINDBLAD: Yeah, I mean, I was kind of -- like at the beginning of the year I'm like I am probably just going to go through the whole Q-Series and like peace out, but I was talking to my coaches, and I really like it at LSU. Like our coaches are awesome. This year we have a really good team, so I just want to give it a chance to get another SEC and maybe a national championship.

Q. Talk about your momentum after this tournament going into your final year at LSU after finishing first here.

INGRID LINDBLAD: Uh-huh, I mean, it's fun. I feel like my game has been really good the first three tournaments we played, so finishing up top here, I mean, I kind of expected to finish somewhere in the top because I feel like this is where I belong, so it was just fun that it worked out this week.

I hit my wedges great all week and putted good all week.
