Press Conference

Q. All right, you had a good round today. All pars and then a bunch of birdies. Did something change on the back nine or what was with the birdies?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: Putting was more stronger, and so, yeah, that makes me birdie.

Q. How is this wind to play in? It's crazy all over the place. How is the wind affecting your game this week?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: Personally, I hate it.

Q. Personally you hate it. But you have to play in it, so how do you play in it?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: I want to be friend with the wind.

Q. Friends with the wind. I like it. I like it. So tomorrow, friends with the wind. You're just two, maybe one, three strokes off the lead. What do you hope to do tomorrow and what would it mean to get your first win as an LPGA Tour member?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: I want to have fun. Maybe. I will be nervous.

Q. Well, tonight, if you have a quiet night in Hawaii, what do you like to do? What do you like to eat?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: I want to watch YouTube and have white rice at home, and I'm going to sleep deadly.
