Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Cassie Porter after her first round here at Blue Bay LPGA. Just take us through the round today. What were some of the highlights.

CASSIE PORTER: Yeah, gosh, there of a few highlights out there. I made a really good birdie on 7, and I think that really got my day started.

I woke up this morning and came down with the flu last night, so I was on the verge of pulling out before round one today.

Yeah, really stoked how it went.

Q. Despite all that, the flu, got 3-under on the day. What was the mindset heading into today? Just try and see what happens and hopefully works out for the best?

CASSIE PORTER: Yeah, for sure. My mindset was just stay hydrated and take one hole at a time. Yeah, obviously being sick doesn't really take away my competitive spirit, so, yeah, it was really good. Yeah, it was good out there. Everything kind of worked.

Q. Second start in your very short-lived LPGA season so far. What has been some of the biggest differences from this week and last time you were out here?

CASSIE PORTER: Yeah, I think just mindset changes. The first week in Bradenton I think it was all new and getting used to playing against people that you see on TV and all that kind of stuff. That's kind of a shock to the system as much as I didn't really want to admit it.

I've come off a couple weeks playing in Australia and I'm really comfy playing over there, so I think it's really nice to come over here and just continue that momentum.

Q. Last one: What's the mindset headed into the rest of the week?

CASSIE PORTER: Same as usual: commit to the process and stay hydrated out here. It's hot.
