PITTSFORD, NEW YORK
Q. Talk about where you are and how you're in pretty good shape?
LYDIA KO: I think I'm in a good position. The overnight leaders are just getting started. I know that I've put myself in a good position for the weekend.
Q. Everybody's talking about conditions, but everybody's talking about the wind. Can you talk about how you dealt with it today?
LYDIA KO: You think when you play in the morning you might not get the wind, but we had win from hole one and it kind of continued that way. I think that's what the forecast is. I think we didn't have a tournament where there was no wind, so it would be stranger if there wasn't. I guess wind is just part of playing.
Q. Does it feel different this year to last year in Rochester being an amateur and now a professional? Is there more pressure this year?
LYDIA KO: Not really. I'm just trying to take the game as it is. I'm still playing the same sport and just enjoying it. I've put myself in a good position compared to last year. I kind of just made the cut and tried to go from there.
Q. We look at you as a professional, but at the same time a 17‑year‑old. Do you still feel like a teenager or do you feel like you're a grown up?
LYDIA KO: When I'm on the course, I don't know what age I am. I know I make some dumb, clumsy mistakes and then I go, there you go. That 17‑year‑old is coming out. But when I'm off course watching TV and I just feel like a normal teenager just doing the teenage things.
Q. You're so new at this as a pro. Does a major championship feel different to you? You've been in them, but does it feel any different this week where you are now going into the weekend?
LYDIA KO: Like this year I didn't really have an opportunity where I put myself in a good position for the weekend, but I think this week I'm playing pretty good, I'm pretty confident. It's good to be in this position, but I got the opportunity to play in some majors last year, and that's definitely helping me with the pressure.
