NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK
Q. Just talk about that marathon match. How was that for you, five extra holes?
MARIA HJORTH: Yeah, it was pretty long. I mean, we both played pretty solid. I thought I played really well all day, but none of us made anything. That's really what it came down to. You know, on the last, I got a pretty good break and for the ball to stay up and not go in the bunker, Catriona got in the bunker.
Overall it was a tough match. I was 3-up, pretty quick, and then just made a few 3-putts and she got a few back. It was a long day.
Q. Talk about you were behind a tree and she was dead center in the fairway and you scrambled and got a par on the board. Did that give you a bit of momentum?
MARIA HJORTH: Absolutely. Just getting the second shot through the trees, and I thought, well, if I can get it -- I was trying to get it in the bunker, and if I can get in the bunker and around that green, I probably can get up-and-down and hopefully make a par to go through.
So of course, that was an important thing. And the hole after, I pulled my tee shot a little bit and hit a tree and got a good break. But you've got to have good breaks every now and then.
Q. I know you might not want to think ahead, but to win this thing there's probably 90 more holes to play and you just played 22; does that tax on your mental side of the game a little bit?
MARIA HJORTH: No, it doesn't feel that way. As long as you keep on playing well, you know, keep yourself in it and keep your focus; you know, now I'm going to go back and rest and get some energy for tomorrow.
But, you know, I'll come out ready tomorrow again.
