Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Sofia Schubert. Three days in a row, backing it up. 5-under 66 today. I think the highlight of your day was that near ace a couple holes back. Walk me through that hole.

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yeah, that hole I was in between clubs. It was not a great number for us, but we decided to go with the longer club.

You know, I just committed to the shot and hit a good one. I didn't realize it almost went in. Couldn't really see it. You could. I couldn't tell.

Anyway, it was good.

Q. Three rounds here playing some really solid golf. What's been the key? Has it just been your ball striking that's really helped you?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yeah, my ball striking has really helped out here. I've worked on it a lot when I've been home. Made a few adjustments with my clubs, and I'm just really happy with where my game is right now.

I mean, I think the key out here is just staying patient and just committing to every shot.

Q. Besides the near ace, what were some of your other highlights out there today?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: I would say just like the finishing holes. I didn't really get it going today. I started off with a few birdies, had a double, then just stayed patient, just kind of let the birdies come.

Q. Had some doubles this week. You've bounced back. What's been the mindset after those doubles? I know we talked about staying positive, but what's really been helping you bounce back?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yeah, exactly. No one loves doubles, but out here like you can get them. On the hole we got a double today we thought it covered and just kind of got unlucky there. You just have to forget about it. That's the big key, and I think Brittany really helped me do that. We just moved on and kept going.

Q. You look up at this leaderboard and where you're at at this point, major champions, former world No. 1s; you're right up there. Sophia Schubert, U.S. Women's Amateur champion, like let's go. What has been your mindset all week like playing with such elite company?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yeah, you know, I mean, this is what I've worked so hard -- worked hard to be at this point.

I'm just trying not to think about it in a way. I mean, I get to play with some of the best golfers in the world and I think to myself that I deserve to be here.

I'm just trying to keep my confidence up and just keep going.

Q. We talked about this a little bit yesterday, but can you elaborate a little more of playing on the side of a mountain. Where you grew up there are a lot of those.

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yes.

Q. Just kind of walk me through what that puts in your head. I know obviously we're in France, not even close to home, but it's got to feel a little bit like it.

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Yeah, no, it definitely feels like it with the hills and the lakes and the mountains. I'm used to being on a bunch of undulation.

I think for me that's really good, because I'm used to hitting those shots, whether it be above your feet, below your feet. I think maybe for some people down in Florida or other places, you get a lot of flat lies.

So you kind of have to know how to adjust. I feel like I've been pretty good at that.

Q. Going to be chasing heading into Sunday. First time really in contention on a Sunday. What's the mindset heading into tomorrow?

SOPHIA SCHUBERT: Same thinking as all week. Just trying not to think about it. Trying not to get ahead of myself. I think that's really easy to the. You think what if? What if I do this?

I just have to make sure I'm not doing that and just take it one shot at a time.
