“I’m feeling pretty good. I’m hitting the ball really well and I think I have some good momentum going into the next two days,” Schremmer said. “Tomorrow, really just want to go out and do the same thing I did today which was to take it one shot at a time. Honestly, I got a little bit of inspiration from watching Rose Zhang yesterday winning her tour debut.”
