Quick Quotes

Q. Just shot a 4-under round today. Your special guest is hanging tough. How excited are you to still have her out here?

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: Oh, it's great. She's a trooper. She's walked now three rounds in a row, and she stayed out in the pouring rain yesterday. So that was amazing. And she's a little tired at night, but she's cool. I mean, she's super -- it helps, I think, to walk a bit with the umbrella, and we have a chair for her. And sometimes she hangs back a little bit. But it's super cool that she's fresh.

Q. You've had two really good rounds so far. What does it mean to you to be able to shoot some low numbers in front of her?

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: It obviously means a lot. It's always nice to have people out and then you play well so they get excited. But, I mean, I know she'll support me whatever I play, but it's just fun that she'll get to watch four rounds.

Q. What have you found that's been working well? We talked earlier in the week. You said your ball striking was going to be fine, you were going to be fine, and it seems to be pretty good so far.

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: Yeah, and then actually it hasn't been so fun, but my putting and my short game has been really, really good. It's kind of kept me in it. And then obviously hit some good ones.

I was struggling a little bit off the tee today, so I'm going to work on that. But otherwise, all around, pretty decent.

Q. There's a lot of low numbers out here. Obviously the weather is going to get a little harsher over the weekend. But being from where you're from and playing a lot of European golf, I'm sure you won't mind. What's just the mindset heading into the weekend with all of that coming at you?

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN: Just to take it like one step at a time, try to stay present, try to just do the best on every single shot, I think. I think if you get too far ahead, especially with the weather, you can just burn your hands a little bit, and I'll try not to do that.
