Quick Quotes

Q. All right, I'm here with Pajaree after her third round at the Mizuho Americas Open. Just talk a little bit about how you played out there today.

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: I think it's another solid round today, and I've been, again, giving myself a lot of birdie opportunities. I really stick to the plan and played some really good game today.

Q. And talk about you made four pars there and got on a quick hot streak with a few birdies and an eagle. Talk about that stretch there at the end of the front nine.

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: I think I had a birdie opportunity on the first and second, and so the third -- I mean, I think I hit some really good shots the first four holes but I didn't -- like the putt didn't go in.

So I tried to stay patience out there. I hit a great shot on the 5th st. Just left myself like a four-footer for birdie, so I thin that really hoped.

Again, I had a really good putts going forward from that hole.

Q. Yeah. It looks like it on your scorecard. Just talk a little bit too about the differences in the conditions. We were talking a little bit about how it started warm, got rainy at the end.

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: Yeah, I had to take the heat (indiscernible) off before warming up at the range today. Again I think the weather been very nice the front nine, and I think starting the 12th it got a little more breeze and then the cold.

I think it just -- I really, really tried to stay patience out there because the wind got a little bit more blowing in the back nine. I think I didn't hit a good drive on certain holes, but really stick to the plan and then just try to stay patience out there.

Because, again, the conditions not as easy the back nine, but really tried to stay patience.

Q. You're a few out of the lead. Talk about keeping that patience and mindset for tomorrow.

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: I think I'm just going to go out there and try my best. I think the course is always one of the challenging courses I played. Really need to put yourself in good spot off the tee and even going on the green. It's a small green and hilly, so I think just try to give yourself some good birdie opportunities and stick to the plan.
