Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Jen, take me through that wonderful little ace you had.

JENNIFER SONG: Yeah, it was 127 to the flag. We had a little bit of right-to-left downwind and I hit my 52-degree wedge. Looked like a good shot but because the green was elevated we had no idea. Looked like a good shot.

The reaction we got from the volunteer was just like simple, Whoo, so we thought, oh, it must be close. Obviously my caddie handed me my putter, and as I'm walking up there I'm like, I only see two balls.

I'm like, is that mine behind the flag? By that time the volunteers were like, oh, it went in the hole? We were like, oh, nice. The worst reaction.

Q. I was going to say, we did see on the TV screen he hand you the putter and then I think walking up. It's nice to say that you've not only made one ace this year, but this is your second ace this year. What's that like for you just thinking back of what you've done this year in that regard?

JENNIFER SONG: It's amazing because I think like now 40,000 is going to St. Jude's Hospital. Is it hospital?

Q. Children's Hospital.

JENNIFER SONG: Yeah, and I think it's for a great cause, and for me to have some sort of input in that, it's an amazing feeling.

I hope that I can make more hole-in-ones this week.

Q. How much did that kind of put a kick into your round as well to now be at the end of round one in the top 10 thanks in part to that ace?

JENNIFER SONG: It was amazing. I saw like eight rainbows today and with an ace, I was just grateful to be out here competing. You know, you can't go wrong with the Hawaiian vibes, so...
