Quick Quotes

Q. All right, so looks like it's going to be good enough. Obviously not the finish you wanted toward the regular season, but looks like you're going to be getting full status on LPGA next year. Talk about how you're feeling and how this week has gone overall.

ANA BELAC: Yeah, I feel like mostly it's like a relief because I had a lot of close calls this year and I felt like I was always on the wrong side of the luck I guess.

So I hope that it works out today and that I get a full card and kind of being on the right side for once; that would be nice.

It's really been a long season, so it would mean a lot to me to get a full card and have a consistent schedule next year and not have to do Monday qualifiers for the most part.

I know it's really tough not being able to play out there even though you have a card, so hopefully this guarantees me some starts early in the year.

Q. Last year didn't make it to final stage here. Was there a different sense of pressure for you with it being -- you already have kind of a card, but you're still trying to get that full status?

ANA BELAC: I was like more relaxed than I've ever been at Q-School because I knew I had a card. It was just a matter of getting into those top 25 spots to kind of like basically surpass some people and get more starts.

But it's never fun being at Q-School. I just -- yeah, I mean, hopefully I'm not back here next year.

Q. What's the ultimate goal or expectation next year on the LPGA now?

ANA BELAC: Yeah, I feel like this season was kind of a blessing in disguise. Not having any status on the LPGA I kind of got to play the full season on Epson. Had a lot of -- played a lot of tournaments. Well, not a full season because I skipped a few events because of the Olympics.

But just like playing a lot of tournaments, making all but one cut, just getting my confidence back and playing in contention a lot.

So I'm hoping I can take a lot of that momentum and just what I learned about my game and new confidence into next season and hopefully avoid being here next year.
