Quick Quotes

LAUREN COUGHLIN: We've worked really hard just for this to happen and it's better than I think I could have imagined.

Q. When you started off the day today obviously looked like maybe a two-horse race; got into a three-horse race. How tough was it to keep in the moment and focus on your own game?

LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, it's very hard. I was fighting it all day. A lot of what I had worked on and thought about and maybe didn't quite do well earlier in the year I think helped so much today just because I was able to talk about it to Terry and get it out and was able to overcome it.

Q. Terry is such an experienced caddie. To have him on the bag, do you think this could've happened?

LAUREN COUGHLIN: Probably not. I mean, eventually, maybe but probably maybe not as quick. I mean, just the little bit that I've been able to learn from him in the six weeks we've been working together is the reason why I'm here right now.

Just so patient and positive and obviously has incredible experience, but it's really just awesome to be around.

Q. Were there moments today where you felt like you were in control and moments today where you felt maybe not quite so in control? Really kind of came together on the 17th hole. Was it the putt on 17 that made th difference?

LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, I think it was the shot before because it was -- I kind of had to hit it -- if I hit that too good it probably goes over the green, and I hit a little bit behind it just kind of took a little off it. Luckily.

But, no, I think, yeah, I mean, I hadn't really made anything all day and I kind of just went back to some of the basics over that putt. It looked like it might stay high and then just dove in at the very last second.
