I feel like I haven&#8217;t played golf like this free in a while, so it is actually a really nice feeling. I feel very secure out there because I know I have a really good partner.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knapp: <em>It&#8217;s like I got to spend some time with Alison Lee a week ago so she gave me some insight on Patty. I feel that&#8217;s the overall theme of this week, kind of get to know one another and also just have a good time. Still go out there and compete obviously, but kind of have fun above all.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q. What did Alison tell you about Patty?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knapp: <em>She said she can get a little upset at times and get down on herself maybe, so she was like just don&#8217;t let her get that way. I was like, that&#8217;s fine, I get upset, too. No, it was just kind of more so just like keep the conversation going and just make sure we have a good time between shots.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tavatanakit: <em>Basically, he&#8217;s just babysitting me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sure if they keep playing like they are, we&#8217;ll hear a lot more from them as the weekend goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n  <div class=\"g-block-wrapper g-block-parone-video
