Quick Quotes

Q. Seemed like a lot better day for scoring, yeah?

ANGEL YIN: Oh, are you --

Q. I'm recording. That was a question.

ANGEL YIN: (Laughter.) Yeah, for me or for everyone?

Q. I don't know, whoever. Everybody out here.

ANGEL YIN: (Laughter.) You want to just answer for me?

Q. For you. You had a nice score.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, I did.

Q. Was it a better day for scoring out there? She can't take my seriously. I'm just going to turn away. This is all being sent to the transcriptionist.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, it's good for me today. I mean, there was some up and downs. It wasn't like the best golf I've played. I struggled but I also thrived through that, so it was good.

I finished with -- I didn't finish with birdie, birdie, but I had three birdies in a row and it was good.

Q. Can you take me through that stretch? I think it was, what 4, 5, 6.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, I made a really good putt. It went in 90 degrees on that hole because it was just a big slope. Made a par -- made a birdie, good up and down on a par-5 and then made a good putt on that par-3.

And then, yeah, nothing else happened afterwards. But I was happy with the round going into the weekend. Tired from last week but looking forward to the weekend.

Q. How much did an Olympic Club -- you just can't take me seriously. How much did Olympic Club prepare you for kind of a not the same course, but a similar kind of setup? Maybe.

ANGEL YIN: It tired me out, I'll tell you that. Tired me out. I was just pretty tired playing from last week going into this week. It's not the easiest course to walk as well and it's a long course. It's not like a chip and putt. You have to actually hit shots, long clubs, too, similar to Olympic Club.

So it's more tiring than anything. I don't know if I really took anything away. Just golfing.

Q. You normally play the week after a major don't you, or do you?

ANGEL YIN: I think so I do.

Q. And why is this one more tiring than most?

ANGEL YIN: I just -- because Olympic Club is hard to walk and it was too cold for me. My body doesn't like the cold so it was breaking down. This week it's funny, I'm putting better, and then last week not hitting it as good, but it's because I'm warm and not cold.

Like I shot 79 just because -- Friday because I couldn't think. It was too cold. I still have hand warmers, so I don't really like the cold. My body doesn't function in the cold. Last week was more tiring than usual.

And then, yeah, I usually do play the week after. I don't play the week before, but I'm doing that next week, so see how it goes.

Q. Feel like we finally thawed out from the last two weeks today with the weather.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, yeah. (Laughing.) You're so mono --

Q. I'll take i from here.

Q. What did I do?

ANGEL YIN: So, yeah, we're here, you're playing golf. Have you ever been interviewed by him? You should. It's fun. You just laugh. (Laughter.)

Q. Warm weather, no wind today. Did that play a role in --

ANGEL YIN: There was some wind. We're still playing tough conditions. Don't make it sound so easy. I'm still trying to golf my golf ball.

Yeah, it's nice. The greens are poa so in the morning it's nicer to putt on, smoother.

And then compared to yesterday afternoon there were so many putts that were going straight and all of a sudden it hits a spike mark and just jumps to the left and I can't do anything about it. So it's quite nice today.

And then obviously there is more water in the morning and a little bit of dew so it's a little bit more wet, ball is not going as far. Yeah, you get your pros and cons, whatever, it's golf.

Ask a question, ask a question. What would you say to Kay?

Q. Solheim is around the corner. Have you been getting into --

ANGEL YIN: Stop showing off. That's not how you asked me earlier.

Q. It is too.

ANGEL YIN: So we went low today.

Q. Just conversation. So Solheim Cup on the line?

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, for sure.

KAY: No. 1 goal.

ANGEL YIN: Yes, what Kay said, No. 1 goal. Just want to rack up points and play Solheim. That's my goal. Yeah, that's it.

Q. This transcript is gonna read awful.
