Q. I am here alongside Dana Fall and Soo Bin Joo who just finished up a moment ago. I'll start with you, Dana. We were all very nervous for you coming down the stretch. Birdie-birdie finish to make the cut. Describe the feelings trying to make the cut and being right on the line or one out?

DANA FALL: Yeah, I kind of knew all day what I needed to do, and I gave myself a lot of the birdie chances all day and they just weren't falling.

So I just stayed patient and they finally fell the last two holes, so I'm excited to play tomorrow.

Q. How about this youngster; 19 years old; this is just your third LPGA event. You had a great round of 66 yesterday. What were your thoughts come into today? Were you nervous? Excited? Confident? A little mix?

SOO BIN JOO: I was so nervous I couldn't sleep well or eat well yesterday, so I just wanted to stay calm and do what I have to do as usual.

Yeah, I tried to be myself the whole day.

Q. 8-under par, you were gathering a lot of attention, especially by us on. Some cameras shows up. I started watching. Did that affect you at all positively or negatively?

SOO BIN JOO: I think in both ways, but I was so nervous, and I can't even remember like what I did on like last few holes. It's kind of disappointing that I made two bogeys on the last few holes, but, yeah, I'll do my best tomorrow.

Q. You're in a great position for tomorrow. Currently tied for 8. Dana, you have a chance to go low tomorrow. Last week you were put in an unusual position of being last in the tournament and you were paired with Minjee Lee and Lydia Ko. What was that experience like playing with two of the best in women's golf?

DANA FALL: Yeah, that was a lot of fun. I think Minjee shot 8-under the second day and it was just like ho-hum. We signed the scorecards and it was 64. Oh, wow, you shot 8-under.

Yeah, it was a good learning experience to play with the best two players in the world arguably right now, and, yeah, I learned a lot and I definitely feel like I belong up there, so...

Q. You showed you belong by the way you finished today. I wish you the best of luck tomorrow. Soo Bin, we enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you and wish you the best as well.
