Minjee Lee

Mixed Zone

Q. Here with Minjee after her second round. Take us through your round today, maybe what was different from today's round versus yesterday.

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I mean, today was pretty steady, especially with the wind, I think I drove it really well, put myself in really better positions. And probably a little bit disappointed in my shots into the greens, probably didn't hit it close enough for those birdie putt ranges.

But we always have a weekend. So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.

Q. Looking at the leaderboard, seeing Ally, do you realize there's a lot of birdie opportunities? Do you feel like you can make a lot of birdies on this course?

MINJEE LEE: I mean, the first few holes, not really. But then I guess she did, and she's playing amazing. I mean, I think she got to, what, 11 after, I don't know, nine holes today.

So, no, I mean, I think she put two great scores up, and, yeah, we're all chasing her at the moment. So I think we can be pretty aggressive. I can be pretty aggressive come the weekend.

Q. As far as the course, where are those birdie opportunities? Are they off the tee, get on the green?

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, like obviously the par-5s, they seem like you can get quite close to, you know -- you can get on 16, you can get quite close to 6. But even there's some holes that are quite short, the par-4s, so you only have wedges into them, and if you can capitalize on those, I think you'll be in a good position.
