Quotable

“The course was playing a little tough with the wind. I think I did well with my first shots, I didn't have any in the rough or out of bounds. I could have been more accurate with my second shot, I was spraying them a little. Overall, I think I played well and I'm just looking forward to another day of golf tomorrow." - Remi Bacardi on her first-round 70

"I putted really well on the front nine. I had 13 putts with a lot of birdies and up and downs. I need to make sure I keep up my putting because I think that will be a key." - Hope Hall on taking a share of the first-round lead
