July 10, 2015
LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA
Q. How did the course play today compared to yesterday? INBEE PARK: It was a lot wetter and softer. It was playing a little bit longer this morning and we got the wind yesterday, as well. But today I think it was a little more tricky. The pin positions were a little trickier, they had a couple of pins on the false fronts. There were some tough pins out there. I had a lot of good shots and good putts. But I ran a lot of the edges. I left a couple out there, but I still feel good. The first two rounds in The Open and I have shot under par, so I'm happy with that.
Q. Do you feel like your ball-striking improved the second round? INBEE PARK: It was better than first round. But I'm trying to get to how I hit it in KPMG. It's not quite there. It's slowly getting there. It was better than yesterday. Hopefully over the weekend I'm going to get to where I want to.
Q. Being as soft as it is, are the green speeds where you expected them to be and are you comfortable with the green speeds? INBEE PARK: I hit probably every putt short, I missed it short. I think that's what everybody has been doing. It's hard to think that you have to smash the putts at a U.S. Open. That's where putts are really, really slow. You can't hit it hard enough to get there. Yeah, I would like them a little quicker, but obviously it's really tough with the soft conditions and the rain we're getting. I just felt like I was stupid because every hole I stood over and I hit it harder and I kept coming short. It's a little bit disappointing. Par is always a good friend here.
Q. You've got to be pleased to be that close? INBEE PARK: Yeah, it's always fun. It's always so much fun being in contention in a major championship and I really know how it feels like. It's very exciting. Yeah, to have a chance at a trophy on the weekend is always so much to play for and definitely gives me a lot of motivation.
