Q. You must be so tired.

MARINA ALEX: A little bit, yeah.

Q. How do you feel now?

MARINA ALEX: It was a great day. It was wonderful playing with Rio all day. We both played some great golf.

You know, it was just a bummer on the last hole, but she played great and she deserves the win.

Q. So you played six holes in the playoff.

MARINA ALEX: Yes. And 18. Very tired. Ready for a beer. (Laughter.)

Q. So you almost reached your third victory.

MARINA ALEX: Yes, almost; very close.

Q. Yes. How do you feel now?

MARINA ALEX: A little disappointed, but it was still a great tournament. I'm really proud of how I played. I'm excited I have a few more starts before the end of the season. Maybe we'll get one.

Q. What does TOTO, this tournament, mean to you?

MARINA ALEX: It's a wonderful tournament. I love coming to Japan. I've been coming here for season years playing the TOTO Classic. It's my favorite country. I love visiting here. Everyone is wonderful. Food is amazing. I really would've loved to win the toilet.

Q. So Rio get Tour card for next two years, so you get to play with her on the Tour.

MARINA ALEX: Absolutely. Amazing talent. Great player. I played with her at Evian and she has great potential. She'll have a wonderful career on LPGA.
