Quick Quotes

Q. Nice round.

SU OH: Thank you.

Q. How did that feel?

SU OH: Yeah, pretty good. I putted quite well today. Yeah, it was just pretty sold out there. I holed a lot of like five-, six-footers so it was good.

Q. Six birdies. Any one of those in particular stand out a little more than the others?

SU OH: Probably the one on 17 because I drained the ball.

Q. Nice.

SU OH: Yeah, I haven't done that for a while so it's always nice draining it.

Q. How far?

SU OH: Maybe like 40 feet, 45 feet.

Q. Oh, dang.

SU OH: Yeah, pin was on the front and I was kind of on the back-ish, so, yeah, it was nice.

Q. That's pretty nice. As we're looking at 17.

SU OH: Yeah.

Q. You also birdied the Aon Risk Reward Challenge hole No. 15. What was the strategy for that?

SU OH: I couldn't quite go for it today, but I didn't actually hit my wedge that close but holed like a 15-, 20-footer, so that was nice.

Actually like just dribbled in, so it was good.

Q. The last revolution.

SU OH: Yeah, literally.

Q. You had a really good finish in Hawaii. I think 4-under in the second round and then 6- and 5- over the weekend.

SU OH: Yeah.

Q. What did you find in your game maybe that -- to help you get going this week?

SU OH: I think probably putting. Just kind of gets your round going, you know. I'm obviously hitting it better, but I think I'm just taking advantage of the good shots that I hit.

Yeah, it was nice.

Q. Yeah, that had to give you some good momentum coming here.

SU OH: Yeah, yeah, I haven't played well here but I really like this place, so it's nice it actually put a good score in.

Q. You played here in 2018 and 2019 but missed the cut both times.

SU OH: Yeah.

Q. Anything you learned from those experiences playing here that maybe helped you get a round like this here?

SU OH: I think obviously the greens are really tricky here, so I actually didn't really have any -- like too much hope for the greens. I was just like, Hit them on the green and then just try and two-putt and maybe I'll get lucky and hole a few, you know.

So I think it was kind of a very good mentality, trying to hit lots of greens.

Q. Absolutely. Do you like when you can have a late round like this and go back out tomorrow and maybe continue the momentum?

SU OH: Yeah, well, I think since I was last off, I think I would rather be late-early than early-late if I'm last off.

So, yeah, I mean, it's no too early, so go home and have some food and sleep. Come out, do it again.

Q. Do you spend a lot of the time in L.A. or have you?

A. Yeah, my coach is in Long Beach so not -- I mean, I come here a little bit.

Q. Every now and then?

SU OH: Yeah, I like it here. Just through COVID probably -- like everything shut down, but normally I would come here, yeah.

Q. And the anticipation or how things change from like afternoon to a morning from what you've experienced here before?

SU OH: Maybe a little bit cold in the -- but it got pretty cold out there in the afternoon, so I'm not sure.

I don't think it will be too different. Like it wasn't super windy or anything out there. I mean, I assume it would be calmer. But, yeah. Not much.
