Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Patty, thank you so much for joining us. You came in it today with a one-shot lead; you go into tomorrow with a two-stroke lead. How are you feeling?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Pretty good. I mean, you know, walking off the course without my A game and being on top of leaderboard is always a nice feeling.

If anything, just seeing a little bit of confidence that I left a lot out there and a lot of things could be improved tomorrow.

THE MODERATOR: You said you didn't have your A game. What was going wrong for you today?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Just felt slow out there today with the pace. Just didn't really have the right flow, momentum.

But I kind of stayed patient and couple putts dropped at the end so it helped a lot.

THE MODERATOR: And you go out with that lead tomorrow. Is there any sort of game plan you'll have going into the final day?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Not really. Just, you know, take it one shot at a time and try to execute as much as I can. That's pretty much all I could do.

THE MODERATOR: No better way of playing. We'll open it up to the floor anyone has any questions.

Q. Patty, I walked a few holes when you were playing and you did not seem really happy with the way you were playing. You were still leading at that point.

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Yeah.

Q. After that, finish with birdie, birdie, what does that say about you as a player that there is a mentality that you just don't give up?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Yeah, you know, we're all out here, we're good competitors, both on LPGA and on LET, and I think that's just what -- one of the key components of good players I think is not giving up and just kind of keep it going and just keep giving yourself opportunities, birdie opportunities.

You know, here and there like I tell my caddie, like I'm going to hit birdie eventually, it will drop eventually. And did the last few holes. Just not ideal, but I'll take it.
