Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Ashleigh Buhai after her third round here at the BMW Ladies Championship. Great start in the morning. Way to finish off your round with four birdies. Let's take us through those first. To make the turn after the double you had on the front on Friday, what was maybe the mind shift and what did you maybe prepare during that rain delay?

ASHLEIGH BUHAI: Nothing really. I kind of got golfed on that double. I hit it, you know, kind of plugged up the bunker face and had to take an unplayable. So, you know, I just said let's roll with the punches, and then bounced back well with the birdie.

And then obviously we were waiting for the delay, and then, yeah, came out just trying to do the same thing, sticking to what I'm trying to feel in my swing. And it was great to finish with four birdies in a row this morning.

Q. And then taking us into the afternoon round, what went into the round, and how were you able to maintain pace?

ASHLEIGH BUHAI: Yeah, I think we all felt it played a little trickier this afternoon. Pins were long, the wind picked up, and it really swirls and bounces off the hills in here.

So, you know, it kind of was a little more up-and-down. But I felt the back nine I played really solid. Coming in, I literally -- I hit so many good putts, and they just didn't drop. So I'm doing the right things, and I just got to keep doing that.

Q. Very tight up at the top of the leaderboard. What's it going to take to separate yourself from the pack?

ASHLEIGH BUHAI: It's going to take a really low, I think. Hannah's playing great. And we kind of were blow for blow for most of the day, and then she just kind of pulled away there at the end.

But it's going to be fun to play again together tomorrow, and hopefully we can feed off each other.
