Ruoning Yin

Mixed Zone

Q. How was it today compared to yesterday?

RUONING YIN: I would say the conditions were about the same. The wind dropped a little bit at the end. But still a grind out there.

Q. (No microphone.)

RUONING YIN: Not really, but I mean, playing in tough conditions, I think mentally -- I'm mentally tired, honestly.

Q. What are your thoughts going into the weekend?

RUONING YIN: Don't three-putt, because I made two three-putts on 16 yesterday and today, and today I think my bogey was just made by three-putts. I think the goal for me for the weekend, just no three-putts.

Q. (No microphone.)

RUONING YIN: My caddie just told me there's 10 paces from the top of the hill to the flag, so there's a lot of space for me to land. That's all he told me.

Q. How do you feel about your position on the leaderboard going into the weekend?

RUONING YIN: I would say my position is pretty good. It's a four-shot lead. Anything can happen in these conditions. Like I said earlier, if I don't have three-putts on the weekend, I will leave myself in a good spot to win the trophy.

Q. That the biggest difference between yesterday's round and today, your putting?

RUONING YIN: Yesterday I still had two three-putts. Two three-putts yesterday, three today, which is not good. I mean, the wind just affected the ball a lot on the greens.

Q. Particularly on the longer putts?

RUONING YIN: Yes, longer.
