Q. You're one of the few 40-somethings among the leaders, Betsy King and Rosie Jones, too. This is a hard course to walk. Is there any problem? How do you explain how well you all are playing?
DAWN COE-JONES: I don't know. I've been sick for two weeks so I'm quite pleasantly surprised to be where I'm at, actually. I think everybody is probably in better shape than they have been in the past. Plus you've got to go to bed early when you play this golf course, so you do get your rest.
Q. Can you comment on Betsy King's 46? Not many players out here that age are still playing like she's doing.
DAWN COE-JONES: Betsy is a phenomenal player, Hall-of-Famer and all, but her desire is there. She works hard on her game and Betsy has always been a good striker of the ball and a good putter. And that's the neat thing about this game. You can be 46 and be very competitive and you can be 19, like Natalie last week, and be competitive, and that's what's nice about it.
Q. What do you think, if the course stays like this on the weekend, how will that change? Will there be more and more low numbers like this?
DAWN COE-JONES: I think so. I think if the golf course stays soft -- I know they're anticipating possibly getting rain tonight so the course may be even softer. We haven't seen the low, low score yet, and I think it's still out there to be found. And I think somebody will shoot that 64, 5. I hope it's me.
Q. What about Janice's 66 today?
DAWN COE-JONES: I didn't know she had 66. That's a great round. Certainly not surprised, as soft as the greens were today, that somebody didn't get it going, yeah.
Q. Have you played with her recently? Do you know her well?
DAWN COE-JONES: I do not, no. I have not played with her. I know her, obviously, yes, but, no, I haven't played with her in a long time.
Q. What would you say the key to playing this course well is?
DAWN COE-JONES: You know, obviously the fairways are quite generous, so saying hitting the fairways is -- you should be able to hit the fairways out here, and then that obviously sets up your shot into the hole. You can't always be aggressive. You have to look at where you might want to putt from. There are times when you can go at the pin and there are times when you can't. You just have to play smart and be patient.
Q. You said you've been sick the two weeks. What have you had?
DAWN COE-JONES: I had a bad stomach virus.
Q. When did you get over that? Are you over that now?
DAWN COE-JONES: I think so. I'm still watching what I'm eating, but, yeah, it was not a fun couple of weeks.
Q. The heat's not bothering you with that?
DAWN COE-JONES: No, I live in Florida. It's hotter in Tampa than it is here. We've got a lot more humidity down there, but today there were times when I felt like I was back home playing, definitely. But, no, drink lots of water and head for shade. And obviously the breeze helped today.
