Q. How nice it was to have some of these young teenagers from the IMG Academy. What, only like ten years ago you were 15 years old or so; does it bring back good memories?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, for sure. And it's so nice to get the support from everyone, and especially the youngsters like this. Hopefully can help inspire them, and if they want to go on and be professional, hopefully I'll be playing against them this ten years' time.

Q. She's a good role model. We were talking a little bit yesterday. You were grinding on your game. It's been a tale of two seasons. You started off so hot and then kind of flat lined a little bit in the second half. What has turned around for you to shoot a great round of 65 today?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I got off to a really good start at the start of the year for sure. I was in contention quite a lot, which was great, and exactly where I wanted to be.

And then I basically just didn't really perform as well as I should have in the majors. I think that was it.

Canada, Portland, two steady weeks, top 15 in both, in contention in Canada, and then last few weeks I was working hard with my game but sometimes the scores don't match and that's just golf.

You've got to stay patient. I knew my game was exactly like it was at the start of the year, and went out today and was really focused. Managed to hole some really good putts and get a few birdies.

Q. Do you think you put too much pressure on yourself at the majors?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, I mean, I've never started the year off as well as I did, and I think, yeah, I really wanted to get the win, especially coming second two weeks in a row.

Pebble Beach as well, such a great venue for the U.S. Open. I just didn't have my game that week.

Played okay at the AIG Women's Open, but golf is a very long year and you do have to kind of steady yourself, especially the last few events. Korea was very, very cold and it was tough.

I'm just happy to be in Florida for CME next week.
