Quick Quotes

Q. All right, not the consecutive birdie streak that we saw yesterday, but still bogey-free through in the final round. What are your thoughts after today?

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, I'm really happy with my today's performance. No bogeys, so that was really good. Not as many birdies, but I left some out there. Final day conditions hard, so it is what it is. I was able to grasp still six birdies, so that's really good, and got myself up to third as we speak.

So I'm really happy. And it's just more consistent play that I've seen, especially starting out like the first day shooting even and being in the back of the field, teeing off at 9:00 on the 10th hole. It's really nice to be the third group out, third to last group on Sunday.

Q. Being able to close with a birdie just like you did the day before, what are the positives that you took away from yesterday's round that you think really helped you today?

ANGEL YIN: I just need to stay patient. Yesterday's front nine didn't have anything happen, two birdies and a bogey, so I was sitting at 1-under.

Made the turn and shot 6-under. I know I need to stay calm, relaxed, and then if it comes, it comes. Just like yesterday. No rainbows and unicorns all the time. It's golf. So that was my mindset.

Q. And what does it do for your confidence with a couple of...

ANGEL YIN: My chaperone. The best chaperone there is.

Q. What does it do for your confidence in the next couple events we'll see you at?

ANGEL YIN: Definitely a confidence booster. Hopefully I will be closer to the leaderboard. Just being back in the final groups again feels good, especially since I started out in the final group. Just it's reassuring because I know my game is there. Sometimes it's a little bit depressing -- is that a good word to use -- when you don't see the results you're getting and then some, you know, stupid mistakes here and there, mistakes that shouldn't happen happen.

So it kind of all bundles together and snowballs, so it's good to be back here, especially with the first day my start wasn't very good.

Q. I know we talked also about recovering from the shoulder pain you had in 2020. How have you been recovering from that in recent weeks?

ANGEL YIN: A lot of taping. Not as many painkillers, but a lot of taping. It's still there, which is unfortunate, which I've also been struggling in the scores because it kind of got worse a little bit a few weeks ago, especially at Wilshire, and I was able to pull through with some taping.

So and then like this week when we came over to Singapore just became really bad because of the weather. I got to say this week it's been pretty good. Yeah, I ripped off the tape. I was like, No more. I can't believe after the first day I was like Ahh, rip it off.
