And 16 pars. I would say, yeah, I just -- I think I'm 16 on the -- so 16 on the green I think, so I just chip two times and I have lots of birdie putt in these 16 pars.

But I miss some four yards, I miss some four yards birdie putt, but, you know, the green is like -- I'm just a little bit, a little bit miss, but I still putting good; just the line just a little bit. But I trust my putter, so I putting good today.

So these two days the green speed is much faster than practice round. Yeah, and the green is so fast. So some long putts, it's really fast, so I think speed is most important. Yeah.

Q. And you had, your caddie said, a good par save on the 17.

YUE REN: No, 17 is like -- it's not save par. 17 is the first shot I hit to the bunker, but the ball position is really bad, so the ball is like here and I swing like this...

YUE REN: Not driver, total game.

Q. Total game 99 out of 100. How about today?

YUE REN: 98. Yeah, because today I think it's because we play really long time, like six hour, so I think the last some holes the muscle little cold, like getting cold. I think so.

Some shots it's not really control, but I think I did it good. So, yeah, 98.
