Q. Steph is a member at the Cali Club. Have you ever played out there?

YEALIMI NOH: I haven't. I had played with a guy that was a member out here. I played a practice round and he was a member out there. Hopefully soon when I'm home. I heard it's a good course.

Q. It's fantastic. Bogey-free today. Take us through just finding zero bogeys and three birdies.

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, it was -- I had like six pars in the beginning so it was -- I had to stay really patient out there. There was a lot of birdie chances, especially on the par-5 that I didn't get at first.

But I just stayed really patient and hit a lot of greens, which is what I was hoping for. I wasn't going at any pins. Just trying to hit the greens and two-putt or one-putt.

Q. You're a NorCal native. For fans, is this as NorCal golf course like as you can get?

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, especially the greens. They're just the definition of NorCal. It's really, really nice weather today. We are super lucky for it to be sunny and not too windy, here especially. So it's been nice.

Q. Yeah. What is the game plan for this weekend after a performance like today? How can you continue that out here specifically?

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, I just hope first on and just hit some greens and fairways.

Q. Seems like the cloudless day--

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, it's really nice.

Q. -- changed the conditions.

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, for sure. Ball is going further, or normal. Like it's always less out here because the air is so heavy, but it's really nice right now.
