Nelly Korda

Mixed Zone

Q. How do you assess your performance, particularly tee-to-green?

NELLY KORDA: Tee-to-green really well. Putting, I'd probably give myself a D. It was -- I started off pretty well and then on the back nine, I just kind of started making more mistakes with the short stick.

But overall, I would say I moved up on moving day, and conditions were tough and I'll take that.

Q. Eagle on 11 got things moving. What can you remember about that?

NELLY KORDA: Eagle on 11; that I was lucky the flagstick was there. I hit it really good off the tee. Hit a really nice 7-wood in and that green is just so fast. It just ran through the green. My chip was kind of sitting down, and I knew that it was not going to release much on the green, so I tried to be a little bit aggressive with it. I was a little too aggressive but thankfully the flagstick stopped it.

Q. Was the wind a factor?

NELLY KORDA: Today, yes. It was a lot windier than the other day, so for sure, you had to start it -- you had to be more aware of your starting lines today.

Q. I don't know if you're aware, but at the moment, you're only three behind --

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, it would be nice. I'm not going to get too ahead of myself. We'll see how the day finishes and we'll go forth from there.

Q. What's the plan now?

NELLY KORDA: Head to the putting green. Try to figure it out again, and yeah, and then just relax and take it easy today.
