Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Lydia after her final round at the Ford Championship. Can you just put into words this week of golf for you?

LYDIA KO: Yeah, you know, it's been a lot of solid golf. I feel like my ball striking was good and that was probably the thing that kind of got the win for me, as much as the short putts in Singapore.

So it was nice to continue that momentum, even though I had quite a few weeks off. Yeah, no, it's a new golf course, so there were a few new adjustments that we needed to make, but overall I had fun.

The scores are really low so you are just trying to make as many birdies as you can.

Q. And bogey-free today. Can you just talk about today specifically and maybe the conditions?

LYDIA KO: Yeah, you know, I think today was the most greens I had hit, so it was definitely nice to have a few more birdie opportunities.

The greens are firm and I think that's what all of us have really been talking about all week. You know, sometimes you're left with a short shot and it's not a very easy one coming in.

I think for the most parts I didn't really make many mistakes, and it's always nice to finish off any event or have any round as a bogey-free.

Q. You're headed to Vegas for next week. How do you switch gears after a tournament like this from match play?

LYDIA KO: I love match play. I mean, the last time I had played a match play format on our tour was at Lorena's event, so it's been a while.

I'm excited. The golf course I think suits the format, so I'm glad that it's kind of back to what it was.

You know, with match play you just never know what's going to happen. The seed is kind of just a number, and the person that has a really good day and is in good momentum is probably going to end up winning.

Hopefully I'll be in that kind of good momentum. It's a pretty quick turnaround so just be well rested and get ready for a long week.
