Quick Quotes

Q. Natasha, thank you so much for joining us, 2-under par second round for you, 5-under total here at the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific. Are you happy today with how the past two days have gone?

NATASHA OON: Actually, I'm really happy with my putting. I've been rolling it straight in. My hitting's a little shaky, so there's always things to work on. So far, so good. Under is always a good thing to have. So I'm very blessed and grateful for how my round is going.

Q. Now, I hear it was a little bit of a rush this morning running to the tee. What was going on there?

NATASHA OON: I forgot that the 10th tee was far away, like the hole par-5. I'm just that type of person that gets so into warming up that I didn't really set an alarm. I was like, okay, ten minutes, we're good. Suddenly I'm like, no, wait, I'm not teeing off the 1st tee. So I was literally running.

My feet on a run is not good, so I'm just really glad that I got there on time.

Q. We're glad as well. Now talk to us about the highlights of your day.

NATASHA OON: Gosh, I finished with a very bad second shot. I saved it from a very hard bunker, and my putting saved the day. I could have played 1-under honestly. Putting was my highlight. Putting was just my highlight.

Sometimes there were good shots, and I was really glad I could convert it into a birdie. Definitely a lot of birdies out there, but a lot of mistakes as well.

Q. What's your mindset for the next few days? You are nicely placed on the leaderboard but a few back from our leader.

NATASHA OON: Honestly this course is pretty attackable when it wants to be. I can't really say what's my approach. The pin positions are just the ones that are going to determine how I'm going to play the hole. So I think I really just want to listen to myself and understand my capabilities and be more confident in what I can do.
