Q. Here with Jasmine Suwannapura after an amazing day. Best rounds on the LPGA Tour by some two shots. When did you get that feeling that a round like this was coming?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I don't think because I don't expect to have amazing round today, and I'm so behind because of yesterday's score. All I just have to do is just try my best to make birdie out there knowing everybody have chance today, so I'm just have to keep fighting to the end basically.

Q. You fought all the way to the end of the round with that eagle on 18. Talk me through that eagle.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I know that I hit a little bit to the right and hopefully it's not in the bad lie. You know, got in front of the sign, got a free drop, and the lie was not the best because it's a little bit dry area, so I was actually slip on that shot.

Somehow it went straight, right at the pin, and Fassi was just like, that was amazing. I'm like, I don't know, I'm kind of blind. I just hope it's good.

I just do what I can do, my best on that time. It was today.

Q. Did you know that you had to make eagle to tie Lucy Li?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I figure because I heard the crowd go pretty wild on 18 green. I'm like, well, a little bit of long putt so might be an eagle putt.

And you know, I mean, I'm already lucky enough to be that close for eagle, and I'm like, well, might as to do it. (Laughter.)
