Quick Quotes

Q. All right, I'd like to break down this incredible round out here today. What was the mindset as you started the fifth round of Q-Series?

RUONING YIN: I mean, I think it was kind of lose confidence on my driver last two round in Mobile, so I just do a little improvement I think with my coach and I just thought about just hit on fairway and hit on the green, make putts.

Yeah, just simple.

Q. When you feel as if you need to make improvements, what do you do? Are you constantly at the range or do you let the experience of the round just take fold?

RUONING YIN: Yeah, I did a lot of work on the range and putting green, yeah.

Q. And then on the back nine, your front nine but the back nine, is when you really started to feel good in your momentum. When did you start to feel the birdies sinking in and the momentum keep up for you?

RUONING YIN: Actually I didn't think that much about the score. I just try to do my thing and try to make birdies, which I made a lot.

Q. You did. Take my through the last couple birdies, especially the last one on your final hole.

RUONING YIN: Okay. Feels like I'm very good at around 100, which my 50 degrees wedges, and I just tried to leave the distance on my last shot.

Yeah, and I did that, so it's pretty good birdie chance.

Q. And that was on your last hole there?

RUONING YIN: Yeah.

Q. What are some of the differences maybe between the Mobile course and the course here that you've seen? Or are there not many differences?

RUONING YIN: I think it's the fairway and greens, the course, the two course in Mobile is I think more narrow. Yeah, when I first day I got here I see the fairway which is wide and I think, Oh, that's perfect.

Q. Oh, that's perfect for me?

RUONING YIN: Yeah, that's perfect for me. Yeah. I didn't made a lot fairway in Mobile but I make I think 12 fairways today, which is good, yeah.

Q. And then just the mindset that you have getting through that first week. What's it been like for you preparing for this second week and what this week could bring you?

RUONING YIN: When I finished fourth round I just told myself that I might need a mental reset, yeah.

Just starting fresh and, yeah, just try to make birdie. Yeah, make birdies.

Q. What's a mental reset like for you? I think you talked at Q-II about movies a lot. You're a big movie watcher.

RUONING YIN: Yeah.

Q. Is that a mental reset for you?

RUONING YIN: Maybe not this time. I usually watch movie when I was play bad, but this time where I live the internet sucks. Yeah, no service there, so it's kind of listen to music, and, yeah, that's my mental reset I think.

Q. And I have a couple questions also from someone else. Alabama fan? Are you?

RUONING YIN: Yeah, I mean, the weather is pretty good in last week.

Q. I was going to say, is this typical of Alabama in December for you?

RUONING YIN: Sorry, my English not --

Q. Is this typical weather of Alabama in December?

RUONING YIN: Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. I think last week of weather is perfect but it's getting a little colder this week, yeah, but just try to figure it out.

Q. As she grabs the sweatshirt.

RUONING YIN: Yeah.
