Q. All right, here after the final round of the CPKC Women's Open. Just talk about the round you had today. Moved up the leaderboard quite a bit and slid into the top 10 looks like.

ALISON LEE: Yeah, I mean, I feel like my game is in a really good spot. Through the course of the week I just had a couple bad holes; had a lot of lip-outs.

I feel like I played okay. I definitely felt like I played better than my scores the last three days, so today felt great. I mean, I was hitting the ball really well. Made a few more putts. Made a lot of birdies. Climbed up the leaderboard.

Didn't look great starting with a bogey today. Definitely got me a bit fired up. Maybe that's why I was playing a bit more aggressively for the rest of the round.

But, yeah, I'm really, really happy with how I played today, and hopefully I can stay in the top 10.

And I feel like my game is in a good spot going into Scottish and British. I know it's really windy over there, so we experience a lot of winds the first two days, so good preparation for those two weeks.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like over the course of my career, like I haven't played amazing in majors. I feel like my game suits well for majors but I just haven't been able to put myself in contention continuously at majors.

Hopefully that's the biggest goal for me moving forward, is hopefully my game is in a good spot going into the British.

Q. Absolutely, yeah. And talk a little bit about the last nine holes, too, just to give some insight, especially as we watch the last few groups finish here.

ALISON LEE: Yeah, some of those tee shots are really tough. You know, in certain areas the fairway does narrow up a little bit, and especially a hole like 15 for example. I mean, if you hit it in the fairway you can get on in two, and today was the first day I was able to hit the fairway; I was able to hit hybrid onto the green.

So little things like that. Making sure I'm putting myself in a good spot. You hit in the rough here this week you get really unlucky with a really thick lie, it's playing tough, and I feel like I had that a few times, just trickling into the rough and not being able to get it close to the hole and give myself birdie.

I feel like especially yesterday and today I had a lot more birdie chances. Obviously it played a lot easier with not as much wind, so, yeah, just tried to take advantage of it and play aggressively.

Yeah, got nothing to lose. Coming into today I was kind of right in the middle of the Top 70 or whatever it was. So I mean, at this point in my career, like I don't care if I get 60th place if I make the cut.

I just want to do the best I can to make as many birdies as I can.

Q. Looks like another top 10 finish, too.

ALISON LEE: I hope so.

Q. I think it's your fourth this year so far. Just talk about the great golf you've been playing throughout the year.

ALISON LEE: Yeah, I feel like I've been close. I finished off the year last year great. I had really high hopes to potentially make Olympics this year.

I think kind of in the middle of the year I got ahead of myself and put too much pressure on myself to make the team. Now I feel -- I didn't make the team, but I feel like a little bit of weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Going to just try and play my best and enjoy it and not give myself a friggin' anxiety attack over every putt.
