Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Robyn, so back-to-back 64s; three plus rounds bogey-free. What's just the mindset? How is the game feeling? Obviously pretty good. How is everything going right now?

ROBYN CHOI: I mean, I just played and I happened to play well. Honestly, my mindset was kind of, you know, it's like six rounds so you really don't know when you're not going to be in the right moment or like might be unlucky or might not have the swing going.

So I was like, you know, just make as many birdies as I can and then just go from there.

Q. You mentioned making as many birdies as you can. Was it the ball striking? Putting? Just everything clicking on all gears?

ROBYN CHOI: Right now everything is going pretty well. I think I hit most greens. I'm hitting them close as well, making the putts. Definitely making more than I have the last few months, so that's good.

No, just everything in general is clicking together I think.

Q. And then officially cut day. Right now in first. Just overall, how is the body feeling and how is the mental game right now?

ROBYN CHOI: Right now doesn't feel too different actually because we had that one day, rain day off, so I didn't play or practice that day. Facilities were closed and everything, so I kind of took that as an off day.

Right now just kind of feels like I'm starting a four-day rounder again, second day kind of feeling. And then hopefully I'm just -- I don't know, like mentally been a little tiring. A lot of pressure in this tournament for the card, so just trying to play one shot at a time really.

Q. You mentioned the pressure a little bit. Top of the leaderboard. Do you watch the leaderboard when you're on the course or just focus on what you're doing right now?

ROBYN CHOI: I mean, I don't look out to find a leaderboard. If it's there I just kind of look at it, naturally look at it.

No, I don't go look at the leaderboard to see where I am. It does help to know where I am sitting, whether I have to like push for more birdies or I have to kind of just play smart.

Q. And you have put together a lot of low rounds on the Epson Tour; you have a couple tournament records. How does that translate over into this week now?

ROBYN CHOI: I think that's really helped me a lot. Just playing on Epson and being able to shoot the low scores, I think it's just confidence coming from there to be able to shoot that, shoot low today and yesterday.

Honestly, I didn't expect myself to shoot 8-under today again, but I think just having those good rounds on Epson just translates over here, and, you know, I'm not as nervous anymore.

Q. You came out of gate pretty quickly making I believe it was like five birdies through six holes or something like that.

ROBYN CHOI: Yeah.

Q. So what's going through your head when you're just racking up these birdies? Are you trying to extend your lead as much as possible in your mind? Pushing yourself? Playing the field more? What is your take on that?

ROBYN CHOI: I mean, when I did make those birdies in the first few holes it was kind of like -- to me it was kind of like, what's happening? I wasn't expecting it.

Honestly, if anything, I was expecting to not play as well as yesterday, because I made a lot of birdies yesterday, and I just feel like, you know, just averages out.

But luckily I started off pretty hot. Made a few putts. Hit a few close. That just kind of like kept on going and then I had a little like few-hole streak in the middle, but I hit a wedge pretty close and that kind of just got it back going.

Q. Would you call yourself an aggressive player or more reserved?

ROBYN CHOI: I would say I'm more of a reserved player. I think I have to push myself to be a little bit more aggressive. I think coming into Q-School this week I kind of had that thought of like, you know, let's play a little bit more aggressive, which I have on Epson the last few tournaments.

So I think that just kind of helped from there.

Q. Another question kind of like that. Do you feel like you're more of an analytical or feel player? Just didn't know how you are with numbers.

ROBYN CHOI: Yeah, I think I just like to play, yeah.

Q. Maybe more of a feel player?

ROBYN CHOI: Feel player, yeah.
