Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Megan Khang, matches the low round of the week thus far, 6-under 65. Birdied the last three. Just walk me through those last two holes, two par-5s.

MEGAN KHANG: Yeah, definitely finishing with two par-5s, you know that's coming when you get to the back nine. You know, I missed a short putt on I believe 14 for birdie, and then we got to 16 and I was like, okay, same club, pitching wedge. I joked around with Jack, this is redemption right here. Hit it pretty close and was able to make the putt.

And then going into the par-5s, just tried to give myself the best opportunity for a look at birdie.

Q. Those 6-under rounds, how do you keep yourself in check and not get too excited out there?

MEGAN KHANG: For me I just try not to think about the round itself. I'm just trying to make good swings at the ball and put good strokes on them.

Results will come after that. But as long as I do my best, what I can control, then it'll take care of itself.

Q. One of the low rounds we've seen you shoot this season. What has been working with your game? What have you found out here at Highland Meadows that's been like, oh, okay I've got it now?

MEGAN KHANG: Yeah, yesterday I wasn't too happy with my ball striking. Thankfully my putter was saving me with some lengthy par putts.

But today kind of went to the range, really tried to dial it in. This course does give you some opportunities, and I was just trying to capitalize on those.

You know, I've been hitting the ball well this year and then putts just haven't been dropping, and so to be able to like kind of put two and two together and put together a good round, definitely means a lot.

Q. How do you stay patient in those moments?

MEGAN KHANG: Honestly, that's when I kind of look at Jack and we kind of joke around and talk about nongolf things. So he's really good out there when it comes to keeping my mind preoccupied before it's my turn to hit the shot.

Q. Heading into the weekend in contention. Just what's the mindset?

MEGAN KHANG: Definitely just stay patient out there. We know what we need to work on; just still going to tweak some things.

But overall, just kind of stay loose and have some fun out there. I mean, Toledo is always a great spot to be in. You get the fans that come out and they're there rooting you on, so you just try to enjoy the moment, because, I mean, there are worse things we could be doing right now.

Q. I know, sore subject, but last time you were here, red, white, and blue. I mean, I know you've talked to some of the Euros, but have you had any Solheim reminders this week or is it just kind of cool being back in Toledo?

MEGAN KHANG: I mean, yeah, I played with Charley the whole two days. All joking aside, we're all really good friends out here. It's pretty cool getting announced as two-time Solheim Cup member. Definitely working on being on a winning one, but it is right down the street and it's pretty cool when you see out here and you see the fans with the Solheim Cup bags. It's pretty cool. I mean, they remind me like oh, Hey, we saw you last year at Inverness.

It's just like pretty cool.
