Quick Quotes

Q. Ronni, excellent round out there today. 66 in benign conditions. Certainly appeared to us like it was probably the worst score you could have shot.

RUONING YIN: Yeah, this morning was pretty quiet and then the green was smooth and fresh. I was able to make a couple putts on the front nine, but back nine I would say I play some really quality golf today and just didn't make it on the back nine.

Q. I was chatting to your performance coach Craig Dixon last night. There is a lot of attention to detail to analyzing every one of your rounds. How do the analytics help you play more freely under the pump?

RUONING YIN: The key thing today for me was the tee shot. I was having a little online session with my coach, Holton Freeman back in LA. I said, hey, mate, do you have 15 minutes for me?

We solve my driver, so today I was able to play more freely I would say. It's really good.

Q. You're a rock star here in China. Five majors on the LPGA Tour. Does this feel like a sixth for you?

RUONING YIN: Well, this year the sixth major definitely is the Olympics up this week also is a big one for me. Especially Shanghai is my hometown as well and I definitely want to play my best out here.
