Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Peiyun Chien. Really good round today. Finished in a flurry. Had a lot of birdies on the back nine. Walk me through the last I guess four, five, six holes.

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yeah, I make a lot of like five yard, seven yard putt. I just saw Chella Choi shoot. Her speed is perfect and she didn't layup the ball, so I feel like maybe I can just do some little change and just putt with my feeling and just make it.

So I feel pretty good.

Q. What have you found on this golf course that's really worked so well for you this week? Has it been ball striking, putting?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yeah, definitely putting. Because a lot of grain with the hills, the slopes, so got to be careful the grain. The grain is pretty heavy here.

And my best finish is this course, so I really always really love to come back to play here.

Q. Lots of good memories?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yes. Here I have good host and a lot of good food around here.

Q. Some of the holes that you birdied today, were those any of the holes you did really well the last time you played well here, that you can remember, I guess?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yeah, I remember last hole because they always move forward the tee box, and I was unlucky in very big divot, and it was only 8-iron, but hit so well. It's only four feet putt but I miss it.

But it's a very good memory.

Q. Heading into the weekend kind of near the top of the leaderboard, how good does that feel and what's the mindset?

PEIYUN CHIEN: I feel my game is pretty good. The coach here, Jeff, he is come with me, so mainly I should listen to him more because he play here was nine years ago.

So it's long time. And No. 10 I didn't listen to him so I took the bogey, so I think we can talk more tomorrow before we hit.
