Hae Ran Ryu

Quick Quotes

Q. Really solid round out there today, another 67. Tell me what was working so well for you today that allowed you to shoot that number.

HAE RAN RYU: Yesterday on the 18th, I missed a putt, so after the round I practiced some short putts yesterday, and then today that worked, but I missed one putt on the course today, so after that I'm nervous and focused on the putts. That kind of worked today.

Q. How are you nice to yourself when maybe the putts don't drop?

HAE RAN RYU: Especially in LA, it's really hard to read the greens. I do my best to read the greens, but if I miss a putt, just doing some praise, and yeah, next putt we begin again.

Q. Today did any of your birdies really stand out?

HAE RAN RYU: Most memorable birdie today is chip-in birdie on the 16th.

Q. How do you like how you're positioned for tomorrow's final round?

HAE RAN RYU: I'm not sure that I'm going to be in the champion group tomorrow, but I was playing in the champion group in Arizona, Drive On Championship, so at that time I miss it, I missed the champion and nervous at that time, but this week I'm going to show the different pace from Arizona.

Q. What did you learn from that experience that you'll use tomorrow?

HAE RAN RYU: In Arizona I was just playing so defensive. This week I have solid iron shots this week, so I'm going to play more aggressive.

Q. You're a rookie this season. I know you've had a lot of success on other tours, but what would it mean to win as a rookie on the LPGA Tour?

HAE RAN RYU: If I win this tournament in my rookie season, that's going to be an honor to me.
