Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Jin Young Ko, 7-under overall. What was working so well out there today?

JIN YOUNG KO: Well, my putting was so good today. I wasn't expecting to play really well today because in the afternoon it's always hard to play this course. But my putting was good, so I'm happy with it.

Q. You have some impressive finishes here. We talked about it earlier this week. What does it mean to have a turnaround day today like you did?

JIN YOUNG KO: Yeah, I have two more rounds to go. Yeah, I played well today, but I don't want to think about much at all today, how did I play. I have two more rounds, and nobody knows how it goes. So working hard and focus on it and go get it.

Q. Four consecutive birdies on the back nine. What was working so well for you in those holes, and what do you like most about the back nine?

JIN YOUNG KO: I didn't think I played 5-under on the back nine. I didn't know that. I was in the zone. I played so much fun today just by myself. I don't know what happened, but yeah, I played well today.

Q. How happy are you now that you can go home and rest for a bit?

JIN YOUNG KO: Well, yeah. I have two more rounds, so I need a little time after this interview for break. But I need to eat, I need to sleep, I need to stretch, I need to do a lot of things.

Q. Still a long night ahead for you, but great job today, Jin Young. Thank you so much.

JIN YOUNG KO: Thank you.
