Quick Quotes

Q. Leta Lindley, 2-over 75. A bit of a tougher day but you're right in contention going into Sunday.

LETA LINDLEY: Right. If somebody would have told me that I'd be in the position I'm in today, I would have been thrilled, one off the lead. A little disappointed I went through a little rough spell, would like a couple of swings back, but played solid golf coming in after my birdie on 8 and hit every green coming in.

Certainly gave myself a few opportunities. Was disappointed to miss those.

The double I had on 7 could have easily been a par and just a brain lapse.

Q. Coming in your swing looked good. There's a lot of positives to take into tomorrow.

LETA LINDLEY: Yeah, really a lot of positives, and just go practice a little bit and rest and get ready for tomorrow. Maybe got some of those bumps out of the way today, and coming out determined and focused tomorrow.

Q. Were you watching the leaderboard much? It was a lot of movement for those of us sitting and watching on TV.

LETA LINDLEY: Right, not really. I kind of peeked at it as I was going by, and knowing -- well, I was playing out there, I knew how tough it was playing, and it's a U.S. Open Championship. Pars are your friend out here, and if you can sneak in a couple birdies, that's a bonus. Really just trying to hang tough after my squirrelly start, so pleased that I was able to hang in there, just wish a couple of those putts had fallen for me.

Q. What part of your pre-tournament prep do you think is paying off the most right now?

LETA LINDLEY: Oh, my gosh, it's all paying off. All of it. I worked hard on everything.

I think I'm striking the ball well, and I don't think I rolled the ball quite as well today, but I must be saving it for tomorrow. I've seen worked just on my mental game and just trying to control my mind and my thought process, so it's been more than just reps and short game, putting and long game. But I really worked hard overall.
