KIA CLASSICMarch 30, 2014Lexi ThompsonCARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA THE MODERATOR: We're here with Lexi Thompson after a great finish there at Kia. You gave a nice fist pump after that big birdie on 18. What was going through your head? LEXI THOMPSON:  No.18 is a hard hole to begin with so you just try to get into the fairway and have a good shot to that pin. Once I saw the 20‑footer going up the hill, I told my caddie I was going to make it. I just got up tight, I felt good over it. I usually don't fist pump, but I was feeling the moment. Q. It was a good smile, too. So you have a good fist pump, good finish here. What does that mean going into Kraft for you? LEXI THOMPSON: It means a lot for me. I went into this week with a positive attitude, went out there and smiled and laughed with my caddie, just relaxed. I think that's when my game shows the best. I'm going to take a big confidence booster going into next week into a major. I'm really looking forward to it. Q. Did you have a number in mind that you thought you had to hit and did that number change as you went through the day? LEXI THOMPSON: I actually didn't think about a number going in. I obviously knew I had to get to double‑digits. I had to take one shot at a time and play the way I did the last three days. Pretty solid. The course is in great shape for us. I tried to take one shot at a time, and when the birdies dropped, I just went for them. Q. Do you wait around now to see what Anna does? LEXI THOMPSON: Yeah, well, I do have to kind of wait around. She went to 14‑under, I guess. You never know, but Anna is a great player. I'm overall just very happy with the way I played no matter what happens. Just really happy with it. Q. International Crown teams will be set after this. What does it feel like to represent your country playing in a team competition? LEXI THOMPSON: It means so much to me. Anytime I can put on red, white and blue, go out there, play for my country, it's the highest honor you can have. I love team events. Just representing my country, there's nothing like it. Golf is such an individual sport, playing as a team for your country, it's always so amazing and the fans love it, so...
