CANADIAN PACIFIC WOMEN'S OPEN


August 22, 2015


Lydia Ko


Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada

Q. You probably didn't get everything you would have liked out of that round, did you?
LYDIA KO: No, I left a couple putts out there. But then I holed some breaking putts, too. Everything just balances out. Overall I played really solid today, so I'm happy with the way I'm hitting it and the way I'm putting it.

I think every round, unless I shoot 18-under par, I'm probably going to say, hey, I knew it could have been better. But no, I'm playing solid, and that's the mind-set I've got to have and just have fun out there tomorrow.

Q. Were you between clubs on your approach shot on 18 there?
LYDIA KO: No, I just kind of left it out there a little bit, so it ended up being in the bunker. But I had a pretty good bunker shot in there. Just under-read it a little bit. That's it.

Q. Is there a different feeling going into the final round tied with somebody than if you're ahead or behind?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what kind of position I was the last time I was here. But there's been cases where I've been a couple shots leading and then end up winning and a couple shots behind or co-leader.

I think at the end of the day, it all depends on how focused I am out there. If some other player shoots 10-under, 6-under, it's really out of my hands.

I'm just going to focus on my game. It's hard enough that way (laughs).

Q. Again you had a large gallery following you most of the way around. Do you feel the support, obviously, that you're getting here?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, you know, last year -- not last year; 2012 when we were here, both left and right on the 18th, it was packed full of people. If I was in the gallery, I don't think I would have been able to move around. There's been a lot of people out here, even on the practice days and Pro-Ams.

It's been a great crowd, lots of Korean fans out here, Canadian, New Zealanders and I'm sure from everywhere. So it's great to see a lot of people out here and I think they get really excited when we play well, too.

Q. I think when you won here in 2012, if I remember correctly, it was 13-under; you're 12 now. Probably going to take better than 13 to win?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, I think so. With the leading score being 12-under, I think somebody will shoot a score better than 13 but you just never know. The greens are getting firm. It's not easy out there. I guess there are scores like 6-under, 5-under, 4, 3; that's why it may seem easy, but the players are playing really solid golf to shoot those scores.

Q. You didn't miss many fairways, did you?
LYDIA KO: No, I didn't miss many, which is good, because I think they are growing the rough a little bit. It's a tough shot when you're in it.

Q. Having won here before, does that make you any more comfortable going out there tomorrow?
LYDIA KO: Yeah, I mean, I guess a little bit. But I think the big difference is there's a lot of people out there to support you, and that's the cool thing about it. You're on the first tee and they call your name, and there's a lot of people cheering for you. So maybe it makes it a little bit more comfortable but it all depends tomorrow.
