Quick Quotes

Q. All right, tell me about some of the highlights of your round today. What was going really well for you?

XIYU LIN: Like yesterday I think I had a good round consider I tee off in the afternoon and it was super windy.

And yesterday I didn't -- I mean, with the wind, I mean, I hit good approach shot; just cannot really get really close to the hole.

So I didn't have lots of opportunities, but in the afternoon shot was birdie, birdie which got me red number. I was pretty happy.

And then today, especially in the morning when the wind like kind of calm down a little bit, and so I had a chance to attack the pin a little bit more.

And I think I did pretty good. Also, the putting, it's been doing really well. Yesterday save lots of like long-ish short putts for par. Today I bomb a couple long putts in for birdie.

Yeah, pretty happy.

Q. What were some of the challenges? I know you mentioned the wind yesterday. It was windy again today. How do you manage those challenges?

XIYU LIN: Yeah, yesterday definitely the most windy I ever play here. Just also crazy because, I mean, there is bunch of trees here, so where I am it was probably like wind swirling and then the top of the tree is a little bit different.

So it's hard to have your ever mind like set to wherever you want to hit to. Then I think today I manage it a little bit better.

And, yeah, and just I think these green is in great condition, so as long as you keep giving yourself opportunities you're gain roll in putts.

Q. You've played in this tournament a couple times. How do you enjoy being out here in this event in general?

XIYU LIN: I really like this course. I think it's a course with lots of opportunities, but also there is some challenges.

Also off the course, like I think the lady I stay with here is one of the maybe only two or not even maybe, it's the only one housing that I've been staying since I was rookie.

So it's great. Always can come back and can chat with her and she follows me, yeah.

Q. That's awesome.

XIYU LIN: Yeah.

Q. You're happy with the round obviously. How does that help you going into the weekend knowing you set yourself up near the top?

XIYU LIN: Yeah, I mean, I just keep trying to keep giving myself opportunities. Like this year, to me it's all about trying to get a breakthrough on the tour, so I feel like I just need to keep getting close, and then each of the time I learn a little bit from it, and hopefully one of the tournament it will be my week.
