Q.  So it's the putting this week has been the best has been the theme of everything?
MIRIM LEE:  Yeah, playing better.

Q.  Any long putts?
MIRIM LEE:  No, every putt is short.
DYLAN VALLEQUETE:  Just the par putt on 15.  The one down the hill‑‑

Q.  How did you guys play 16?
DYLAN VALLEQUETE:  Hit driver.
MIRIM LEE:  Hit driver, and then‑‑
DYLAN VALLEQUETE:  It was just off the green in the fairway cut, maybe a yard off the green, and then just chipped it up there about two yards and made that.

Q.  And then we missed 18.  What did you do there?
DYLAN VALLEQUETE:  Hit it in the left rough and then had 165, and hit a good 5‑iron, and then that landed about five short of the green and then two‑putted.

Q.  Not your first time in contention for Sunday.  Do you feel comfortable?  Will you be nervous tomorrow?
MIRIM LEE:  I think comfortable.  Just I think patience, patience, patience.

Q.  Has that been an issue before, that you get a little excited?

Q.  Will you think about them tomorrow?  Will you think, I've done this before?
MIRIM LEE:  Yeah.

Q.  In a final round do you watch the leaderboard?
MIRIM LEE:  Oh, yeah, I always watch the leaderboard.

Q.  What were your feelings about this golf course going into this week?  Did you like the golf course?

DYLAN VALLEQUETE:  Last year we didn't play very well.

Q.  You missed the cut, right?
MIRIM LEE:  No, I made, but maybe 60 something.
DYLAN VALLEQUETE:  There are no expectations coming in, just play, practice, get ready for next week.
MIRIM LEE:  Right.
DYLAN VALLEQUETE:  So it feels good to be here.
