Q. Nelly, fantastic performance today. Seven wins now on the LPGA Tour this season. Does winning every get boring?

NELLY KORDA: No. Never. I mean, you should have felt the nerves that I was feeling on the back nine, and then just after taking some time off with an injury, it feels great to be back out here.

Nothing like being in the hunt, the adrenaline feeling on the back nine, and being in contention. I love it so much.

Q. Is that how you were able to turn it around? You were two back and all of a sudden you reel off five birdies in a row. What goes through your mind in those moments?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, not a lot of happy thoughts at the beginning. But, yeah, I mean, I have such a great teammate. Jay and I've been together for I think next year going on our ninth year. Having him by my side obviously helps because he knows what to say when I do get down on myself.

Q. We often see your mom and dad out walking, but we see your brother is here.

NELLY KORDA: I did not know that. I just saw him.

Q. This is your first time seeing him?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, and this is my first time winning in front of him. I haven't seen him in a couple months so it's nice to see him.
