Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Xiyu Lin after her third round here in Texas. Another really solid day today. What was different about the course today, if anything? How did you manage that?

XIYU LIN: Today I think the course is definitely a little drier, a little firmer, and we have some really good pin position.

So I think overall shooting under par, I'm pretty happy with it. But the only thing is I finished the round a little weaker. I make a bogey on 16 and didn't manage to get birdie on 17 and 18.

So I think tomorrow hopefully I'll do better than that.

Q. You played in the last group today; you're playing in the last group again tomorrow. How excited are you to just be up at the top and playing at the top?

XIYU LIN: Well, I mean, it's exciting and nervous at the same time.

But I've been experience it a couple time this year, so I think I'm getting more comfortable about it.

You know, at the end of the day it's just still just playing your own game. Doesn't really matter who you're playing with.

Q. As you said, you've been up at the top a couple times this season. Is there a secret ingredient that you're still trying to figure out? What do you think you have to do tomorrow to finally get that win?

XIYU LIN: I don't know. If I win, I probably will find the ingredient. Just right now -- well, I mean, I'm obviously happy every week I put myself in good positions. Like I've been making cuts very frequently and there are week when I'm feeling better and I'm just pretty higher on the leaderboard.

So as is right now, just going to give myself all the credits about it. Like keep telling myself how good I am right now, and tomorrow I'm definitely in the mix, definitely have a chance. Just need to be patient.
