Quick Quotes

Q. That was a great eagle on the final hole to get yourself into a tie for the lead. What happened on 18?

SU OH: I actually had -- my ball striking wasn't like -- the impact wasn't very good today. I was just kind of scrambling really well out there.

But I was like, come on, you want to hit some good shots before going into tomorrow. Such a long day, so I don't think I would want to hit balls after.

So just some things that I've just been working on in my swing, and I think it was just more the will of like hitting the ball solid.

So, yeah, and I kind of had a really good yardage to that back pin. Didn't matter how hard I hit my 3-wood, it wouldn't have carried on top, so I think that helped.

I knew it was going to cover the front and then I knew I would have to get lucky, but it was pretty good number so I was like, Come on. Just hit the ball solid.

So, yeah, kind of worked out really well.

Q. You ended up with just a short one for eagle.

SU OH: Yeah, lots of tap-ins for the next two days would be great.

Q. We'll take that.

SU OH: Yeah.

Q. We'll say that. Overall a great round, you and Nasa tied for the lead, tied for the tournament 54-hole scoring record. This is, on the LPGA by far your best -- excuse me, 36 holes, by far your best 36 personal score.

SU OH: Uh-huh.

Q. Are you feeling in sync this week, even though you're saying your ball striking is not there?

SU OH: Yeah. I mean, obviously -- I think the scoring, doesn't matter what course we play, someone is going to go low. Like everyone is so good now. Not that it wasn't, but you know what I mean? There is always a round --

Q. The level of play is so good.

SU OH: Yeah, I think that forces you to -- because you know there is going to be a lot birdies out there, so you don't feel like you're way ahead by making birdies.

It's kind of like you have to make birdies.

Q. Yeah.

SU OH: But, no, just I think putting. I holed quite a lot of putts and some good momentum putts, too, so that always helps. Just one or two putts here or there makes a big difference.

Q. And does it help playing alongside a player who's also playing well? Nasa was also 7-under today. Does that help you at all?

SU OH: Yeah, she's so nice and such a good player that you know that she's not going to give it away.

No one else -- it's still two more days, so I think it's kind of good that we're both playing well and sort of trying to keep up with each other rather than not such a good final round or final group.

So, yeah, I think it definitely helps.

Q. And you, what, had two or three holes left to go when play suspended?

SU OH: I had three. I had like a three-footer on 15, which I was like, Oh, gosh. (Laughter.)

And then I had some long putts coming in, so, yeah.
