Press Conference

Q. All right, so another solid round today. How was playing through the wind and how do you manage?

HAEJI KANG: Today was actually a lot more gusty, gustier than yesterday, so I just had to keep the ball low off the ground.

Yeah, just -- yeah, that was it.

Q. You said you worked on that back in Orlando specifically for this week.

HAEJI KANG: Uh-huh.

Q. What is the mentality of having to think, Okay, I can't do what I normally do, I've got to change it up?

HAEJI KANG: I actually enjoy playing in the wind because it's actually more fun and you got to be more creative out there, and actually you get to think a lot more so you get a headache after the round.

But like I enjoy it, yeah.

Q. What were some of the highlights of your round today?

HAEJI KANG: I think I hit wedges close enough to make some birdies and anything within 10-footer I made it, so I think that was the good part of my game.

Q. Just talk about gaining momentum in this tournament. (Wind interference.)

HAEJI KANG: Since it's very windy out there it's actually easy -- very easy to lose momentum.

So no matter what happens, I think it's all about keeping it just, you know, stable, the mental, mentality stable, and keep grinding.
