Quick Quotes

THE MODERATOR: Just wanted to talk about how the past few days have been. Near the top of the leaderboard within two strokes. Talk about how you've been bouncing off each other the past two days.

LAKAREBER ABE: Well, I'll say it's been so much fun. Georgia and I can talk about pretty much anything on the golf course. I think we're just trying to have a good time, enjoy it, take each hole one at a time, and just play whatever is in front of us.

GEORGIA OBOH: Yeah, it's been a really great experience. I think overall we're just playing really well, and we're just kind of keeping each other in high spirits, and yeah, just thank God for today especially. Some of those putts, it's only by the Holy Spirit that they went in. I don't know what I did but they went in the hole, but just thankful to have luck over here and to be here this week.

Q. How do you think you complemented each other's games today? I was talking a little bit to you beforehand but how you rely on each other during these four-ball days?

LAKAREBER ABE: Yeah, I felt the same way yesterday where Georgia hits a lot of fairways, hits a lot of greens, so yesterday was nice, I kind of knew I was going to hit every second shot from the fairway, and then today she hit a lot of good shots first, like 10, 15, 20 feet, so it kind of lets me just attack a ton of pins. She hit a lot of greens. She made a ton of putts, so I didn't have to putt a whole lot, which is also great. Anytime you have a partner playing as well as she has, it makes golf really easy and really fun.

GEORGIA OBOH: Yeah, Lakareber was still pretty consistent off the tee, and yeah, she was able to really flag down some of those pins. We just made a lot of putts, and she made a nice eagle on 3, so that was a nice little boost after making the turn. It's been a great couple of days, and can't wait to see what the weekend has in store.

Q. Have you been keeping an eye on the leaderboard at all or kind of doing as best as you can these past two days?

LAKAREBER ABE: I peeked a little bit, but you never really know. The team format, especially four-ball today, people are going to shoot low. Just do your best and see where that leaves us.

GEORGIA OBOH: Yeah, had a little bit of a peek, but we were just playing so well, and really since the leaderboards are only kind of around this route around the 18th, so for the most part, staying in the moment, playing some good golf.

Q. What do the past two rounds do for your confidence heading into the weekend?

GEORGIA OBOH: Really looking forward to tomorrow, especially we played well yesterday in alternate shot, and so it really just depends on what the conditions are tomorrow, but I think we're going to do pretty good.

LAKAREBER ABE: Yeah, I'd agree.
