Q. All right, Mary, how do you feel about your performance today compared to yesterday?

MARY LIU: From weather part today is more hot than yesterday, and then the green are firmer.

And then I think we did really great job with my caddie. Also talked to me coach. Then we just do our best and then ready for today. No matter how the score, we just hitting by one shot.

Then I never done like this, just really focus on just my shot. But I believe I will keep doing this and then it will get better.

Q. Could you talk a little about the start of your round today when up went on that stretch of having three straight birdies?

MARY LIU: Oh, yes. Right now I only remember I made a lot of birdies today. The three by row is coming from really patient. I wasn't think I would make three birdie row by row, and just putted and then do my best.

Sounds simple, but for me I have to trust in myself is hard part for me.

Q. Were there any challenges in particular that you faced today on the course?

MARY LIU: I believe it's hole 7, yeah, just that hole. And then actually from this morning and then just every shot for me I'm hard to trust in myself, but I just keep talking to myself and then talk to caddie, okay, let's do something positive and think positive.

Just trusting myself and believe myself, and then matter how, will take it.

Q. Like you said, staying positive out there, what other factors will go into what your mindset will be like heading into the weekend?

MARY LIU: Yes, I believe I will write down notes today and then just think about what going on tomorrow and what should I do for tomorrow.

I never play this good on LPGA, so I'm so exciting. I hope I have a good sleep tonight.

Q. Obviously having a good sleep and having that good mindset going into the weekend, is there anything in particular that you'll do tonight or tomorrow morning to prepare yourself?

MARY LIU: I will definitely have a great dinner because I stay housing this week. Then I believe we will have big dinner.

And then sleep well and then do some stretching and talking to my coach. And then ready for tomorrow.

Just no plan for me right now because as the rookie I know it's really hard to win the tournament. I totally understand because everyone here work really hard.

So for me, I will just hit my shot by shot and then gist focus on myself, trust myself, do my best.
