Quick Quotes

Q. Solid job today. Had to finish out the last round, but now coming into this, how are you feeling after the sixth round?

PEIYUN CHIEN: In front nine I don't feel very well and I make a lot of mistake. Keep bogeying two holes.

And I feel -- I was very nervous because I feel I need to play very well and give to me a little bit pressure to make Top 5. That's my goal.

But I, you know, I think too much and try too hard to make everything. You know, the back nine is my front nine.

Q. Uh-huh.

PEIYUN CHIEN: The green is not consistent, the speed is so hard to control. Means a lot of birdie putt.

And the wind is pretty strong today, not consistent. Back nine is easier because cool down, that's why I play back 2-under.

Q. You said you got nervous and that your goal is Top 5.

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yep.

Q. When did that become a goal for you, at the beginning of Q Series or as you've been playing through the first week?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Beginning I just want to do -- you know, make cut first and make more birdie, don't make too many mistake. That's my goal.

And I doing very well last week, so this is just little goal I want to be like Top 5 for this week.

Q. Yeah, no, I mean, it's something that even if you are not necessarily super under par, even close to a 2-under or an even day people are still in that top 10, and that's where you are right now.

PEIYUN CHIEN: Oh, really?

Q. Yes. So even if you're not playing at your best, is it still satisfying that you're still playing at that consistent level?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yeah, so still two days to go, very import. I need to eat well, sleep well. That's the goal I need to do tonight.

And I play very safe two days, one putt or two putting and just and just leave.

Q. Is it okay to not be as aggressive on these final days?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Depends what kind of shot, but if under 8-iron I would still go for it.

Q. Uh-huh. So what will you focus on? I know you said your putting, you're trying to get speeds down. Is that something you'll focus on in the next 36 holes?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yeah, speed is the most important thing on the green, but today a lot of pin is so hard, so hard. I can feel the green speed or I think my start is not very straight, so I need to work on my putter tomorrow.
