Quick Quotes
Q. That was an excellent round of 67, Georgia, and a very adventurous birdie at the 13th. How di you make a birdie when you hit it in the water off the tee?
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, wasn't my best tee shot of the day. Yeah, had to take the drop. Then I was quite brave. Went for 3-wood over water trying and get close to the green. Left it in the bunker on the left. It's a very hard bunker shot and managed to hole it.
So I was not walking off that hole thinking I was going to get a birdie, but very happy with the outcome.
Q. There were plenty of other birdies as well in that excellent round. You're going to start the final round at this stage five off the pace. Think you got a chance?
GEORGIA HALL: Definitely need to go low on the front nine tomorrow. I know Lydia is leading, and five behind Lydia is a very big task, so we'll see what happens.
Maybe the wind will get up, but I'll give it my best shot.
Q. You got Colin Cann on the bag, very experienced caddie; goes sleep with the yardage book.
GEORGIA HALL: Yes.
Q. What difference has he made to your game and performance?
GEORGIA HALL: Well, I mean, this is the third day together, so we are just kind of getting to go know each other, to be honest. Yeah, he's from England, which I love. Speaks very English and we have a lot of sarcastic banter. Obviously he's caddied for some amazing players over the years, so obviously very grateful to have him on my bag.
Q. Yeah. Great. You're playing beautifully, striking it well. New driver getting a bit of extra distance?
GEORGIA HALL: Yes, hitting it quite straight too, apart from that tee shot. But I hit driver off the deck for the first time with it today on 9. I had like 240 front and it went on the green, so I can complain.
I was a little bit nervous as I haven't tried that one on the range yet with that driver, but it worked out.
