AIG WOMEN'S OPEN

Minjee Lee

Mixed Zone

Q. How are you feeling on your third round here at the AIG Women's Open?

MINJEE LEE: I started off pretty good. I had two birdies on the front nine, and then was a bit too many bunkers. Made a few bogeys coming in, but had two birdies on the back as well, so finished 1-under.

It was really windy out there, so I feel like I probably could have had a little bit -- a little lower score but considering where I hit it, I think I'm happy with where I'm at.

Q. What do you feel like you need to do tomorrow to really contend for this title?

MINJEE LEE: I think coming out with a lot of birdies, like fire a low -- like start low. I think Ash is really far ahead right now. I think I saw her at 14-under.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to shoot a really low score and hope for her to come back a little bit. Yeah, that's pretty much what I want to do, just play my game and try to make as many birdies as I can.

Q. You're obviously a two-time major winner and you know what it takes to get it done on a Sunday. Do you feel like that experience will help you tomorrow, especially if there's some nerves for Ashleigh?

MINJEE LEE: I think so. I think the position I'm in and considering how many shots back I am, I think I can be aggressive and I think I can just try and make birdie every single hole. I think that's pretty much what I can do, if I can go for the pin.

Yeah, I think Ash, probably she has probably contended a few times but it's the British Open and the final group, so I'm sure she'll have a few nerves.
