Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Dana Finkelstein after her third round here. How much have you enjoyed just playing by yourself and just flying through this course?

DANA FINKELSTEIN: Honestly, it was really nice. I feel like I keep getting stuck with so many slow players round one and two. Just kind of throws you off when you get put on the clock and get warned.

I know it's not me, but it's nice to just go out and not have to worry about those things and I can do what I want and we can take as much time as we want because it's just one of us.

Q. Yeah. And clearly that played to your advantage shooting a 6-under on the day. What was sort of the key to your game out there on this course?

DANA FINKELSTEIN: Well, I didn't hit it very well yesterday, so after the round my caddie/boyfriend/coach, we just went to the range and kind of grinded a little bit and tried to get a feel for today.

It definitely helped. I hit it a lot better today. Putts finally started dropping, so that was nice.

Q. You had a good first day and now today, a third day. So what is it about this course that's challenging and how are you like managing that challenge?

DANA FINKELSTEIN: Yeah, the greens are just a little bit slower than I think all of us are used to because they're so slopey, so I think I finally adjusted to the speed today, and I think that's kind of what helped.

Q. So you'll probably have to play with someone tomorrow. Unfortunately. So tell me how you plan or what's the strategy to keeping up this good play into the final day?

DANA FINKELSTEIN: Yeah, we'll just keep that same good swing feel I had today, and whoever we get paired with tomorrow, it is what it is. We'll play our game, and they can do their game, and we'll just kind of keep it the same.
