Quick Quotes

Q. Bogey-free round. How did it feel walking off that last green?

KAREN CHUNG: Relieving. Previous years I haven't birdied 18. I played it very interesting. So birdieing it the last few days was great.

Q. Solid round of golf today. Name near the top of leaderboard right now. Especially today with the cut happening, how does it feel walking off the green and having that comfortability of being up near the top of that leaderboard away from the cut line?

KAREN CHUNG: I mean, you're going to hear this a lot this week, but I really need this week, because right now going to Stage II, so it's nice to see my name up there right now.

We still have two more days and these girls are good, so got to hang in there.

Q. And then going off what you said about having to go to Stage II, having that in the back of your head, does that put more pressure on you or how do you stay positive knowing that but wanting to just play the game you know you're capable of?

KAREN CHUNG: I mean, it's definitely nerve-wracking and gives me so much anxiety thinking about Stage II.

But, I mean, it is what it is and you can't really be thinking about that out here. Just take one shot at a time. Past two days it worked out, so...

Q. And then how do you rest or prepare for the next two days of golf?

KAREN CHUNG: Just going to hit a couple putts, maybe go hit some balls, but I am not going to push anything. We still got a marathon to go, so, yep, go rest up.
