Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Andrea Lee; 28 on the front nine. Talk about that front nine and what was going so well out there.

ANDREA LEE: Yeah, I mean it was pretty crazy. Honestly I went out there today just nothing to lose. Just wanted to play some good golf and was hitting really good shots and making a lot of putts.

I think it felt like I made 100 feet of putts on the front nine, which just insane. Everything I saw went in. Yeah, it was pretty cool. I wasn't even really thinking about the score until I think I hit the 9th hole and I was like oh, my God, I think I'm like 6- or 7-under par today.

It was pretty wild. I didn't even birdie two of the par-5s on the front which is also crazy.

Q. I was just telling you, but ties for the lowest nine-hole score in this tournament, too. What does that mean? Last time it was in 2009; also in Calgary.

ANDREA LEE: Yeah, I mean, it's pretty amazing. It's my best-ever score in nine holes as well. It's really cool to have my name in the record books somehow for this tournament, which is pretty cool.

Yeah, you know, I felt like I was struggling this entire week and then everything finally came together on those nine holes, so I feel like maybe the momentum is switching a little bit with my game.

Hopefully I can see some better results moving forward.

Q. And then just last question: A lot of golf left today; a lot of groups left to tee off. What can you tell us about the front nine? You clearly maximized on it. Anything about hole locations, yardages, stuff like that that stuck out maybe different today?

ANDREA LEE: I think the front nine is definitely gettable. I think that's the easier nine to score on on this golf course for sure. I feel like people are definitely capitalizing and making the most of their birdies on the front and just grinding their way from like 10 to 13 and then trying to get a couple towards the end.

But, yeah, I mean, there are some gettable hole locations out there for sure. 14 is reachable. They moved the tee forward.

Moved the tee forward on the par-3 No. 5 which I was pretty surprised, so pretty easy to hold that green unlike the other days.

I think there will be some pretty low scores out there. I think the winner is going to have to go shoot maybe more than 3- or 4-under par.
