Quick Quotes

Q. Georgia, slow start but a great turnaround today with an eagle at the end. How do you feel?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, good. I was just -- to be honest with you, I was just trying to play golf. I'm injured so I -- I was actually worse than yesterday, especially on the front nine. Just trying to make contact with the ball.

So I'm just thrilled with the way I'm playing at the moment. I'm just hoping that -- I'll see the physio in a minute and try and make it better, but that's literally my priority, just to play today.

Q. How did you get injured?

GEORGIA HALL: I -- well, I don't know. My shoulder has been a bit tight for a couple weeks but no problems at all. Then in the pro-am when I was warming up I just hit a couple and it went straightaway and locked up on me, kind of my upper back.

So I only saw six holes of the course before teeing it up yesterday.

Q. Warmed up on the back nine. Feeling better?

GEORGIA HALL: Still worse than yesterday. I think it was because it was so cold. It's colder this morning and I had less time to warm up why it was worse, but I'm going to see the physio in a bit.

Q. So very mentally tough. Talk about that eagle.

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, had a decent number, just off the fairway, hit a good one and perfect rescue to get up the slope to about 20 feet and managed to read it right.

Obviously helps for tomorrow.

Q. And then to be dealing with that and to play this well, what does that tell you when you're just trying to hit the golf ball how well you're actually playing right now?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, my backswing has changed a bit. I've had to adapt and change my swing because of it.

And, yeah, I knew I was playing well coming into this. I've kind of been on the -- kind of I would say onward, upwards transition the last couple months and scores didn't really show that much.

I was confident and I was just gutted because I thought I was playing well, about my shoulder. Again, I'm just happy to be playing, yeah.

Q. I know it's obviously not what you want to be dealing with, but to be in this position heading into the weekend, day to day obviously, but how are you hoping to maybe continue to just hit the golf ball and play so well?

GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, different mentality for me because sometimes I would worry about tee shots coming up, and I'm literally just worried about the next shot. It's kind of taught me something, so silver lining.

Yeah, I mean, I've got 24 hours before I tee off again, so, yeah, should be enough hopefully.

Q. What was that number coming into this green?

GEORGIA HALL: 202 pin. Yeah.
