Quick Quotes

Q. All right, her after your third round at the FM Championship. Solid round. Talk about how you played out there.

CARLOTA CIGANDA: Yeah, I played pretty solid out there today. I knew I could shoot low. I've been playing really good the last couple days and I really like the course.

Great birdie on 2. I think the par-5s, I played them very well today so that was really important.

Then, yeah, just hitting lots of greens. I wasn't in bad places and made a few putts. Overall very solid round.

Q. And you said you like the course. What is it about the course that you like and maybe suits your game?

CARLOTA CIGANDA: Yeah, I think you have to hit the shots and you don't have much room, like on the second shots. You have to hit pretty much the exact shot, and I think I have the speed to stop the ball, which other players, they might struggle here.

And, yeah, I think you just have to hit the right shots off the tee to the green. Make putts. I think it's, yeah, a great course. I'm really enjoying it.

Q. And near the top of the leaderboard heading into tomorrow. Any thoughts about that and what to remind yourself going into tomorrow?

CARLOTA CIGANDA: No, I think just have the strategy clear for tomorrow, keep doing the same we been doing the last couple days. If we do that, we're going to have a chance tomorrow.

Q. You said you played the par-5s very well. It's been a struggle here this past week for people to kind of birdie these par-5s. How do you think you took advantage of them?

CARLOTA CIGANDA: Yeah, today I birdied two. 7 I think I got a bit of an advantage because I almost hit to the green on the second shot. The tee today was in the back, so that was good for me.

And then I hit a great shot into 12 to like ten feet for eagle, so that was also a nice birdie. I think if I can take advantage of those par-5s tomorrow and make a couple more birdies I think I will be fine.
