Q. You said there's some holes on this course where you can be aggressive; others where you need to play smart. Round of 67 today. How well do you feel like you were able to execute on your plan?

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I think I was pretty solid all day. Made a lot of birdies on the front nine and then one eagle on the back and just kind of made pars coming in.

So, yeah, no, I feel like I had a pretty good day.

Q. Three-stroke lead heading into the final round. Given what we just talked about, how aggressive do you feel like you'll need to be tomorrow?

MINJEE LEE: I think it just depends where the pins are. I'm just going to go step by step and just assess it when I'm on the golf course.

Yeah, so just depends on the wind and the condition of the course.

I think I'll be aggressive when I can and then be a bit smarter when I have to.

Q. Back this week as defending champion. How different has the experience been?

MINJEE LEE: It hasn't really been that different. I still have to put up a score and hit the same golf shots. At the end of the day you have to play, and, yeah, it's been good.
