Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Inbee Park. Nice little 4-under 67 today. I know you probably didn't love your first round, but that one has to feel pretty good.

INBEE PARK: Yeah, I mean, yesterday was a lot tougher than this morning. Yesterday was a lot windier, the wind of the pretty tricky, and some of the holes were playing really, really hard.

So a little different condition this morning. I was able to take advantage of that, and, yeah, it was a nice clean round.

Q. Take me through the eagle on 7. It was last few holes going forward a little bit more?

INBEE PARK: Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, it's a reachable par-5 and I hit a great second shot. I was only five, six feet away from the hole for my eagle.

Yeah, nice two shot there. It was nice.

Q. You mentioned the conditions yesterday afternoon were pretty windy, pretty tough out here. This morning the scores are not very low. Do you feel good with this draw?

INBEE PARK: Yeah, I mean, I found it a lot easier than yesterday afternoon this morning, so, I mean, I didn't see many good scores yesterday's afternoon. I mean, the morning round were really, really low scores, but I think this golf course can be very tough and very scorable at the same time.

You just got to know where the wind is going. There are definitely holes where it is reachable and short, but you just got to watch where you put your ball and judge the wind nicely.

Q. It was a little soft yesterday. Had some mist I guess early in the day.

INBEE PARK: Yeah.

Q. Did the golf course firm up at all?

INBEE PARK: I think it definitely firmed up a bit. Some of the downwind holes it was really hard to hold the greens. I think it's only going to get firmer.

Q. We've heard there has been some pretty nasty pin positions. I'm looking at 18; that's not super fun. How did you find the pins out there today?

INBEE PARK: Yeah, couple very tricky ones, but overall I think it was pretty fair. Good pins to attack at and tough pins where you have to be a little bit more safe. I think it was a good combination.

Q. What are you working on? What's the mindset ahead of the weekend?

INBEE PARK: Just trying to play consistent and just hitting nice good shots and putting some of the putts in the holes is the good plan.
