Q. So much excitement surrounding Rose Zhang making her debut in this major championship as a professional. I asked you earlier this week, what's your goal for the week, and you said, just making the cut. Well, you did that, so what's the goal for the weekend?

ROSE ZHANG: Weekend is to play the best golf I can, especially being on a major championship venue. Baltusrol is a challenge, and I definitely felt that the first two days.

Just being able to play well and shoot low figures, I think it's a little bit better than what I expected.

Q. You're in red figures heading into the final round. What do you think it's going to take tomorrow to give yourself a chance here?

ROSE ZHANG: Certainly. Well, first of all, you can't make that many mistakes. Every part of my game needs to be an "A" game. We'll see how everything turns out, but hopefully if I put myself in the right positions on the golf course, we'll be able to have a chance.

Q. You just came off the golf course. Give us a little preview of what some of the leaders are going to face this afternoon.

ROSE ZHANG: For sure. When I first started the round, it was a little wet, and the greens were very receptive. But going into the back nine, it was starting to get a little bit firmer but not as firm as the first couple days. They're going to be expecting a bit of rollout, a bit of jump. The grass from the rough is also very jumpy, so just being aware of what your lie is, and you're going to see a couple lay-up shots from the rough, as well, if you end up in there.

I'm excited to see what the leaders do.
