Danielle Kang

Quick Quotes

Q. So you're double digits. Still within contention. Nasa is running away a little bit. How are you feeling right now?

DANIELLE KANG: I'm feeling all right. Needed to turn that round around. Was a really slow start and not really getting a feel for these greens right now.

So I think I told Ollie that if I can turn today's round into a few under it was a good day. Really happy I finished at 10.

Q. You definitely did that. You had the double early but a bunch of birdies coming in.

DANIELLE KANG: Yeah, I don't know, I couldn't get the green reads, speed correct. I just kept missing all the putts. I hit the ball amazing on the front nine, better than the back nine, and gave myself five birdie opportunities under-10 feet and missed all of them.

So it was just kind of -- but you have one of those days. Just got to make sure that you turn the bad day into a solid day and keep yourself in contention.

Q. It's got to be a good feeling when you have one of those days and you still ended up in contention and are still playing well at the end of the day.

DANIELLE KANG: Yeah, I think I wasn't looking at the result of the tournament. I think more so for myself.

Q. Yeah.

DANIELLE KANG: If it I have one of those bad days, just got to make sure it's not worse.

Q. We were talking early in the week how good it was going to be to be back to normal. What's it been like the last few days? Today is packed.

DANIELLE KANG: It was awesome. I love the fans obviously. These three guys over there, they're loving it because I said -- what was that hole?

OLLIE: 14, par-3.

DANIELLE KANG: Can you ask him what his name is? What's your name? Hey, I'll put you in the media because you willed the putt in.

COLE: What's that?

DANIELLE KANG: What's your name?

COLE: Cole.

DANIELLE KANG: Cole willed the putt in from the gallery. It wasn't going in but the gallery...

COLE: These guys willed it in just as much as I did.

DANIELLE KANG: Okay. If you can get their full name and put it in there, they willed the putt in. It wasn't going in. It was definitely missing right, and then I heard them screaming and the ball turned.

So I gave them the ball after that. With that said, I love having the fans back.
