Quick Quotes

Q. 7-under par. In a very, very good position with 18 holes remaining. What went well for you out there today?

NICOLE GARCIA: I think just my scrambling, keeping it together. I was hoping a few more putts would've dropped, but, yeah, still hitting some good iron shots.

Yeah, that's about it.

Q. You look excited and we're excited for you. With those conditions and the swirling wind, how do you keep your rhythm out there on the golf course?

NICOLE GARCIA: Yeah, so I know you mentioned counting earlier, but I don't quite count. I just sit up and think to myself, okay, nice and slow. Then I just kind of like try and really keep slow.

So it really feels slow to me but it's obviously normal speed to everybody else.

Q. You've been 18 holes remaining. In some very good company. Pauline Roussin, Danielle Kang. Excited? Nervous about the final round? What's your mindset right now?

NICOLE GARCIA: I think I'm excited but probably also nervous. I'm normally chasing on the last day, so it's quite a nice position to be in, so we'll see tomorrow how I feel.

My golf still feels solid so I'm hoping that tomorrow if I can just keep the rhythm that it'll go well.

Q. You hit some pretty good shots out there today, very small targets, but gave yourself some opportunities, and that's what it's all about, isn't it?

NICOLE GARCIA: Yeah, definitely. Iron shots and approach shots into the green, even off the tee I was pretty solid. Just didn't drop any putts today, so I'll go work on that now.
