The Englishwoman shot even-par 71 Friday at the AIG Women’s British Open to head into the weekend in the top 10 in her home country. But still, she was asked again for the third straight day about her viral prank where she had her caddie, Adam Woodward, think he won £100,000 from a scratch-off ticket. It was met with a lot of criticism from people thinking it was incredibly harsh.

“I don't think people understand mine and Adsy's relationship. Like we're very, very close,” she said Friday. “He's like a big brother to me. He is one of my best friends. He's always taking the mickey out of me. He thought the joke was brilliant himself. Was showing everybody about it. He was laughing hard about it.

“Then when you hear comments, so many people saying how bad it is, just lighten up. You obviously don't get my humor, and I don't care if you don't get my humor. My friends get my humor and that's why they're my friends.”
