Quick Quotes
Q. What do you have to do well around this golf course to be atop the leaderboard?
MINJEE LEE: Definitely ball striker's golf course, so obviously fairways, greens, and the greens are getting a little firmer now, so a two-putt is good and one-putt is a bonus right now. Yeah, I just feel like I was pretty solid all day.
I think I was rushing a little bit because we were on the clock the last couple of holes, but other than that, I feel pretty good.
Q. You played a pretty limited schedule to start the year. This is just your fifth start of the season. How would you assess where your game is at at this point?
MINJEE LEE: It doesn't feel like my fifth start, but it is. I feel pretty good after last week. I played three events prior to this event, and this is my fourth in a row now. I feel pretty good. I've been striking it pretty well and hopefully keeping the putter going on the weekend.
Q. You were in a similar position to last year when you went on to win this championship. How will you approach the next two days?
MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I think I'm going to be aggressive when I can. There are some holes that you can really go for out here and obviously play smart when I'm in a tough position. Yeah, I think just stick to my game plan and stick to my processes, and I'll be all right.
