Q. Here with Weiwei Zhang after her second round of the AmazingCre Portland Classic. What were the easiest parts of the course out there and the hardest parts?

WEIWEI ZHANG: For me is the tee shot is easy for me because my driver always good.

Second shot I feel not very easy because the green very firmer, yeah.

So it's tee shot easy for me and second shot little difficult for me, yeah.

Q. Got you. Perfect. I know you're a rookie.

WEIWEI ZHANG: Yeah.

Q. Can you talk a little bit about how hard or easy the transition from the Chinese LPGA to this LPGA, how is it different, harder, easier?

WEIWEI ZHANG: Yeah, it's very big different. I play Chinese LPGA 2019 and 2020.

Q. So you're happy to see yourself at the top of the leaderboard this week?
