Quick Quotes

Q. All right here with Gina Kim after her third round at this Portland Classic. Another bogey-free round. Can you put into perspective how hard to might be out here to go bogey-free?

GINA KIM: Yeah, I mean, some of the pin positions were getting a little tougher, so just being able to put together a solid round and not really have too many mistakes, I feel really good about it.

You know, it's telling me that my hard work is paying off, and everything is going pretty smoothly.

So I feel good.

Q. Lots of birdie opportunities out there. Did you feel like you made enough birdies? You feel like you left any out there or were you happy with the amount you made?

GINA KIM: You know, obviously I'm not going to reject a 4-under, but I feel like I definitely left a couple out there. I executed perfectly. Just didn't happen to fall in.

So I can't really say I have any regrets. I gave it 100% over every shot, and hopefully tomorrow they'll fall in.

Q. And only a couple strokes back on a course where you can get a lot of birdies. Are you excited to be aggressive tomorrow? Can you be aggressive?

GINA KIM: Yeah. You know, I think I was fairly aggressive this whole week, and I think just sticking to my plan and just staying committed to the routine, I think that's just been paying off, so I don't think I'm going to really change anything for tomorrow clearly because it's been working so well.

Q. Sure.

GINA KIM: But, yeah, I'm excited. I think this is the first time I've been somewhat in contention in the season, and feels really good to be in this position.

So this is what I think everyone works hard for so I'm feeling really good.
