Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Frida Kinhult after her third round at the AmazingCre Portland Classic. So far you have the low round of the day. Not sure if you knew that or not, but you do. So I just wanted to know what was working out there on the course, how you were finding all those birdie opportunities?

FRIDA KINHULT: Pretty stress-free golf. Only really in trouble maybe once or twice, so I didn't really have to save a lot out there. Just gave myself some good chances and I guess managed to make a few. Yeah, dropped a few extra putts compared to normal maybe.

Other than that, just played pretty solid and gave myself a few chances and took a little bit of advantage on some of the par-5s, too.

Q. Speaking of which, I saw you got that good eagle there on No. 5, par-5 No. 5. Can you take us through that hole?

FRIDA KINHULT: Yeah, I haven't really found the tee line there. Missed the first round right; yesterday was left; I was just trying to get something in between there today. Managed to find the fairway and hit a 3-wood between bunkers, rolled up to like maybe 15 feet, something like that, and dropped the putt.

So I'll take it anyway.

Q. Love it. We love a 15-footer. Going into Moving Day, you're first group off the tee, not middle of the road I guess, so just tell me what the mindset always looks like when you start in that position, just so you can make the most of Moving Day?

FRIDA KINHULT: Yeah, no, wasn't a lot of wind out there the front nine today, so just it was most play the number and nothing crazy going up in the air.

So nothing crazy. Just got off to a pretty good start. Tried to get it rolling from there.

Q. Do you say anything to yourself mentally before a round like that just to...

FRIDA KINHULT: I looked at the leaderboard and I knew I had to do something good to get somewhat close. There will make more birdies out there these next few hours, but the only thing I could kind of do and control is try and shoot a low score.

I'm happy with 7-under. It gets me into a little bit of a better position for tomorrow, so just try to go out and have fun.
