Quick Quotes

Q. Savannah, so good round today. Just talk about what stood out over the first two rounds today.

SAVANNAH VIAUBI: So today it was patience and energy control really. It's really long day when you have a rain delay, and feels like the round just wouldn't end. For whatever reason it was just a really long day.

So you want to keep your energy up and not get too angry over a mistake or too happy over a really good one. You want to stay neutral, so that was our approach today.

Over the course the last two days I think we've done really well to minimize as many mistakes as possible. I had a few today, but the birdies were there, and when we have scoring opportunities, we've been pretty good at capitalizing on them.

Q. You're saying we. Your fiance is on the bag this week.

SAVANNAH VIAUBI: Yes.

Q. What does that mean that he's here this week with you?

SAVANNAH VIAUBI: Gosh, the support is tremendous. I told him this before, too, but he's like a Swiss Army knife of a man to me. He has adapted to my lifestyle. Obviously any golfer knows it's full of travel and long distance, but he's been a rock star and incredibly supportive. Excited for me with all the successes and he goes into like problem solving mode when I'm in a rut.

With all the stress of Q-Series, it's really, really good to have someone who I love and adore and can make me laugh on the bag.

Q. What's the mindset for the next four days?

SAVANNAH VIAUBI: Yeah, so first two days I think that's the toughest, right? You don't want to fall on your face the second you step on stage. So we have a couple under-par rounds, and moving forward we're just going to be confident in our ball striking.

My irons into greens have been really solid the last couple days. My caddie, fiancé, has been giving me really great numbers. I think we're going to focus on our course management and knowing that my ball striking is there, so we can fire at pins. Greens are obviously super receptive and we'll convert as many putts as possible.

Q. What does it mean to have Epson Corporation support by covering the entry fees this week for and you so many other girls here in week?

SAVANNAH VIAUBI: Yeah, it's just tremendous what Epson Corporation has done for us to cover Q-Series. It's one, a huge financial relief. It's really, really I think just sets a huge precedence for the support of women's golf.

Epson Corporation is -- they mean it. They're backing it with a huge financial support for us and that means a lot.

Going into this, you can play knowing that you're not out a bunch of money, and you want to represent Epson Corporation really well, too. So you're not just playing for yourself, playing willy-nilly because you don't have to pay for it now. You really want to show up well for yourself and the work you put in as well as Epson Corporation.
