Quotes by Ashley Knoll

“Its always been my goal to win here and this certainly makes it a little easier. I have a lot of confidence now, but I have to put this behind me and start fresh in the second round.”

“Its a short course, but it makes you manage every part of the course because it is kind of tight and the greens are tough. There are a lot of places you cant afford to miss here. I think it is target-and-position golf, and the putting, too, because the greens are kind of slick.”

“I wish we could just keep on playing. I was definitely pleased with my finish.”

“I think I realized around hole 14 that Virginia wasnt going to mess up. She was playing steady; she was playing safe. I started playing for second (place) around there.”

“My best round ever was a 65. I was trying to beat that, but it didnt work out because of the bogeys. But, I was very happy with my round today.”

“I felt pretty good about the round. I thought my chipping and putting were great and it was a good round. I just need to keep playing my game. I thought my course management was good, and I think the key to this course is course management, so I am going to keep that as my strategy.”

“The wind was a little bit of a factor.”
