Quick Quotes

Q. Yuka Saso, 10-under for the week, 70 today. How would you assess your round today?

YUKA SASO: It was pretty tough today with the wind. Colder than yesterday. Some rain, too.

So, but, yeah, still I think I played okay. Just missed a few putts. Yeah, I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot.

Q. With the wet conditions, how much harder did this golf course play today than it did the days prior?

YUKA SASO: The golf course is very long so it made it play longer. I think that was, you know, the hardest part of today. So I have longer shot into the green and some wind, too, so that was pretty tough.

Q. You've been in final groups in obviously major championships before. What was it like watching Jin Young Ko today and playing with her?

YUKA SASO: Amazing really. She doesn't really make mistakes. Keeps on making putts. It's amazing to see and play with her.

Yeah, and I really learned a lot and hopefully play with her in the future again and learn from her.

Q. Only a few events left in the 2021 season. Pretty solid finish here, Top 5. What kind of momentum does that give you heading into the rest of your season?

YUKA SASO: I think I'll have a pretty long off again, until my next tournament, so I think I'll just rest a little and then just trust the process. Just do what I was doing to get ready for the next tournament.

Q. What can you take from this week as whole? Any positives?

YUKA SASO: I think my driving. I recently changed my driver, so I think I've hit a really good shots this week, last week, so hopefully gets better and better.

Q. (Regarding getting better with driver. )

YUKA SASO: Yeah, so I've changed all my woods last week, so, yeah, getting used to it and get the feel of the club was one of my priority. Uh-huh.
