Rain delays are never easy to deal with but you must be really  
pleased to be finished, Vikki.
I’m really excited to be in. We were off and on the course a couple of times there so I actually finished pretty well and holed a couple of good par putts on the way in so I’m definitely very happy.

You were aggressive there on 18 as well.
Yeah, I had to go for it. It’s a big green so I aimed right and  managed to hit it there.

What about the thought process with that putt?
I was just trying to roll it close and get some good speed on it.  Halfway there I thought, ‘it’s got a pretty good chance,’ and it  just missed the edge so a good two putt.

You’re leading at this particular moment. You must be pleased?
I’m definitely pleased. Any time you can be leading going into Sunday, I mean, I know there are a lot of girls out there, but a couple under today I’m really happy with, with the delays and all.  I’d have taken that at the beginning of the day. I’m really happy  with it.

This is only your second year on the LET. Why so long a wait to see  you playing among the professionals in Europe?
I was actually in the States for a while. I was in college at the  University of California for a good stint and I had a little bit of  status on the LPGA, a conditional card. I didn’t get enough starts  to get going with that and then I was on the Duramed Futures Tour  for a little while and that’s pretty rough out there so I decided to  move back to Europe and come back home and see how that’s going and  so far, so good.

Where were you when called in?
I’d hit my drive on 16 when I got called in and then I hit my second shot left of the green and chipped on and got called in again. I went back out and made the putt and finished up from there. I’m pretty happy to be honest.

You are in the leading position. Did anything go wrong?
I’m really happy with two under. It’s been a really long day for us and we’ve been on and off the course a couple of times. I’d  definitely take two under with all the weather that we’ve been having so I’m happy.

What are you planning for tomorrow?
Just the same: pick good targets and swing freely. I hope everything goes the same as it’s been going for the last couple of days. The putter’s working really well and I’m not going to try and do anything different. I’m just going to try and do the same stuff.
