Quick Quotes

Q. Ashley, thank you so much for joining us. Three rounds done here at the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific. You're in a nice position on the leaderboard. How are you feeling?

ASHLEY LAU: Honestly, I'm really not thinking much about the leaderboard, just trying to play my game out there and enjoy my golf as much as possible.

Q. Talking of your game, can you talk to us about your round today?

ASHLEY LAU: Yeah, three birdies on the front nine, which got me going a little bit. Then a bogey on 10 which got me a little frustrated. Not frustrated, but a little, I would say -- it was just the smallest mistake where I was, okay, just be patient and birdies will come. And it came on 16 and 18.

Q. The little mistake out there, what was that?

ASHLEY LAU: I would say commitment. I didn't commit to my shot. That was, I think, about 40 metres from the pin. I didn't commit to it, and I kind of thinned it a little and went over the green, and I made bogey from there.

Q. So a birdie to finish up the last?

ASHLEY LAU: Yes.

Q. Must be very happy to take that momentum into tomorrow?

ASHLEY LAU: Yeah, very happy. I'm just trying to keep the same game plan for tomorrow as the last three days.

Q. Talk to us about the birdie on 18.

ASHLEY LAU: I had my drive off the lower right into the rough and then went for it. Ended up in the bunker. Hit it to about 12, 15 feet, and I made the putt.

Q. As we touched on, you are nicely positioned on the leaderboard, but a few shots back of the leaders. Do you start thinking about what you might need to do tomorrow to get the win?

ASHLEY LAU: No. The game plan is to just really stick to my preshot routine, just trying to be comfortable out there and really just enjoy golf. It's my last day in Abu Dhabi.
