Ayaka Furue

Quick Quotes

Q. Really solid round out there today. I think you might be the only player that has only one bogey or worse on the card through 36 holes. How have you been able to manage your way around this golf course?

AYAKA FURUE: I think I was able to concentrate well. My par putts were going in, so I think that was a big thing for my round.

Q. Obviously got that win at Scottish last year. You like kind of challenging greens to putt on. What have you figured out with this poa annua grass that allows you to make those really important par putts?

AYAKA FURUE: I'm not sure, but I think that I was able to hit the perfect shots with the poa annua grass, and I think I needed to say okay to myself that if the ball bounces, it's still a fine shot for me.

Q. Headed into the weekend here, you're a couple back, but playing some really solid golf. What will you continue as you look ahead to the weekend?

AYAKA FURUE: I feel my shot is getting better, and I think I'm getting my confidence to my game, so I think I will continue what I'm doing right now.
