Quick Quotes

Q. All right, joined now by Linn Grant here at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. Just kind of take us through the round today. Very good front and then just very quiet back. But just take us through the round.

LINN GRANT: Very steady round all the way through. Even though it looked a little different. Obviously started off very well and then had that double on 6? 5?

And just had a setback, but just told myself there is a couple holes left, so just keep fighting.

And then birdie, eagle, birdie, there, and then obviously quite quiet on the back nine. Still hit a lot of good shots and some really, really good putts. A lot of downhill, quick putts.

So, yeah, very happy with the day.

Q. And then just summarize the week as well. Obviously want to have some good momentum heading into next week. You seem to have done that. What were some of the highlights of the week?

LINN GRANT: Yeah, I just feel like the last couple events I've really been able to find something really good. Going back to kind of where I was maybe a year ago where just focusing on more of the process instead of the result, like the short-term result.

Really just taking it day by day and hole by hole and not stressing over what the outcome might be or stressing over how many under par I am or over par.

Just feels very good to have that feeling now.

Q. And then heading into CME next week, what will you take away from this week and the whole season even?

LINN GRANT: Oh, just like I said, it feels really good to kind of feel like I'm a bit more balanced now than I was maybe at the beginning of the year.

And also, obviously very nice to have a good week before CME and feel very ready to go into that week. Really liked course last year. I think it's a good challenge. Yeah, obviously looking really forward to next year as well.

Hope it will be a good one.

Q. Last one: Obviously as a Swede, here we are at Annika's tournament. What has she meant to you and what do you make of her giving back at the collegiate level and now at the professional level?

LINN GRANT: Yeah, I think she's a great role model for women's golf. She's done so much already just with all her results when she was playing in her career.

So I think maybe we take it for granted that she's here now and showing up for us, so I think it's really nice to have her here and show what you can do after golf.

And also be a great role model for all the younger girls and for us.
