Quick Quotes

Q. So you had a 5-under day today. I mean, you came in kind of on the bubble, knocking at the door of the top 10. Was that on your mind while you were playing?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: I feel like it is. It's the last tournament of the year and I feel like I need a pretty good finish to be able to jump inside that top 10 and avoid Q-Series.

So, yeah, I mean, just kind of go for it all this week. Yeah, I guess it's on my mind, but trying not to really think about it.

Q. And then going into tomorrow, are you kind of thinking about that and your game plan when you're planning for tomorrow?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: No. I think I'm just going to keep doing the same thing. It is a birdiefest out here. You have to be aggressive, you have to go for it, and I'm going to just keep doing what I've been doing.

Q. You're 5-under. Are you happy with how you're playing?

GABRIELA RUFFELS: Yeah. I mean, obviously I would like a little bit more, but, yeah, I was 5-under through 9 and I thought I could maybe do a little bit more on the back nine; just putts weren't dropping.

But it was nice to end with a birdie here and I feel like I'm in a pretty good position for tomorrow.
