Press Conference

Q. 18 holes to go, you just finished the seventh day. How are you feeling with the last day ahead of us?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Very, very excited for next day and just need to try to be calm and play every shot and just focus on one shot. I really enjoy playing with my caddie.

Q. Yesterday we talked about working on your putting, reading these greens out here, how do you think that was for you today compared to some of the other days?

PEIYUN CHIEN: I didn't putt very well today also because I think the green is slower today. I think because the wind is stronger so they're making the greens slower. But my line is really good, so it doesn't hurt me too bad.

Q. You've done pretty well on these front nine, on the front nine the last couple rounds here. Do you like the front nine better than the back nine holes?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yeah, front nine definitely is easier, but 9, the green and a couple second shots is pretty hard and a little longer. And I play with Ayaka and the Korean player and I think I'm lucky because they are top players in the world, I'm very lucky to play with them and before I go back to LPGA.

Q. Are you one of those players that picks up on things from other players that you play with or do you notice how they're doing their kind of shots or how they're putting?

PEIYUN CHIEN: I always will be watching the player play and learn something, because I think every player have the best swing they have. Some is driver, some is chipping, some is putting. But I think the best one is Atthaya. She is so good. She can hit the driver and putt so well, chip so well. So I think if I'm going to be a champion I still need to work very hard.

Q. What are some of the things you learned from Ayaka and Hye-Jin?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Their ball striking is not very well today, but I can see they have experience to have patience to work on every shot. So Ayaka, her putting is really good, speed is really good, but today it's just so hard to read.

Q. 18 holes to go, what will you do tonight to kind of reset going into the final day?

PEIYUN CHIEN: I'm going to go eat some pho noodle soup, because the pressure, so I lost all weight these two weeks and I didn't eat a lot. So after this I will feel a lot better.
