MARATHON CLASSIC PRESENTED BY OWENS CORNING AND O-IJuly 21, 2017Nelly KordaToledo, Ohio Q. Yesterday was good, today was really, really good. What was the big key out there today? NELLY KORDA: I think my back nine I birdied the first three holes, and then I birdied the last three holes. That definitely helped a lot. Q. Are you becoming a bigger fan of this course? NELLY KORDA: I like it a lot. It definitely fits my eye, and hopefully it treats me well over the weekend. Q. To be in contention, how good of a feeling is that going into the weekend? NELLY KORDA: I mean, whenever you're in contention, that's like the goal. Everyone goes into every tournament wanting to win. To be on top of the leaderboard feels really good, and I still have 36 more holes, so I'm definitely excited for it. Q. I think you birdied half your holes today. When you play like that, does it feel like you're in a zone and like you're not going to hit a poor shot or you can make every putt? NELLY KORDA: You're definitely in a zone, but obviously there are four shots -- I actually only hit one bad drive today, and the key on this golf course is to hit as many fairways as possible, and I was doing that today, and I had short wedges into the greens, so whenever you have that, it makes it a little easier. But nothing out here is easy. Q. Do you feel comfortable near the top of the leaderboard? NELLY KORDA: I like it, yeah, of course. I've been on top of the leaderboard a couple of times this year, and I've just learned to stay patient and just take it shot by shot. Q. Do you feel like -- this goes exactly against what you just said, but I'm wondering is there also a sense because there's a lot of birdies and low scores here that an aggressive style is what it's going to take to get through this weekend? NELLY KORDA: I kind of have a game plan, and I've just been sticking to it for the past two days. Today it worked out really well. I was hitting it really well. You know, I mean, when you have wedges into the greens, you are a little bit more aggressive, so I'm just going to keep the same game plan for the weekend, not change anything.
