Quick Quotes

Q. After the first round, solid 2-under. We're not seeing too many super low scores today. What did you see out there that you think might be the reason?

RUONING YIN: Well, I think today it's pretty windy, and I think the course is trickier with the wind. That's why I think the score wasn't too low. But overall, yeah, I played pretty solid today. But just I have a couple mistakes that happened.

But overall, it's a pretty solid round.

Q. What do you think stood out in your game that made you play so well, and is that what you think other players are doing, also, to play well out here?

RUONING YIN: I think my approach shot, it's getting there. I still didn't play the way I wanted to play, but I think I'm just going to keep getting better every day.

Q. So you were saying that it was windy. Are you used to playing in windy conditions?

RUONING YIN: I play a lot -- I mean, my hometown, Shanghai, is pretty windy and it's pretty windy in the winter. I play a lot in windy conditions. This wind, I think is okay, but just me, I should play better.

Q. And can you talk about the birdie on your last hole?

RUONING YIN: Oh, last hole, that was a soft air iron and I pitched exactly where I want to pitch. I told Dave, my caddie, he said 149 to the pitch and we want to pitch 140. I just pitched to exactly the same spot. It's a perfect shot.

Q. So what is the game plan for tomorrow?

RUONING YIN: Have fun. I think my strategy is really good. I think I just need to execute and have less mistakes.

Q. You said about the landing spot, was it different? Was the strategy different for that last week and how different, do you know what I mean?

RUONING YIN: I think the greens this week, it's a little bit firmer than last week. So the landing spot, you have to be really careful about the landing spot, especially today. You have some pin positions that are quite tough, and when you're attacking the pin, you just have to be really careful.
