Quick Quotes

Q. Can you talk to us about your round today.

HAILEY LOH: Definitely a lot of ups and downs. I started with a bogey and recovered quickly with a birdie on the next. I made a couple of bombs today on the greens, so that felt really good. I also missed a couple of short ones, so I guess that kind of made up for it.

Overall it was a pretty tough day. The pins were all tucked in corners, and I feel like I had a pretty good ball striking day and not too bad, the score is not too bad.

Q. You made four birdies today. Can you talk us through some of those? Which holes did you think went really well for you?

HAILEY LOH: I birdied hole 2, so I hit it to 15 feet and made the putt. I birdied hole 8. That was a really good birdie. It was 50 feet away across a ridge right-to-left about six feet and I made that. It felt really, really good.

I also birdied 16. I was in the thick rough, hit it to the left side of the green and made a putt from there. I can't remember which other hole I birdied. But I bet it felt really good too (laughing.)

Q. What clubs were you using for those holes?

HAILEY LOH: For hole 8, I hit a 7. I didn't hit it well. I kind of duffed it. So kind of fortunate that I duffed it. On hole 2, I hit a 9. And for hole 16, I hit like a hook 9 because I was in the thick rough.

Q. Talk to us about 10.

HAILEY LOH: 10? Oh, I didn't hit a very good drive. I was on right side, and I was about this close to the tree, like maybe a couple of feet. I didn't have much space to take my back swing. I tried to punch it out. It hit the slope and rolled back almost into the OB. All I could do was hit it up to the left side, and I was still behind a tree. I chipped it, clipped the tree and just came down.

After that, I made a 40-meter up-and-down for a double bogey. So it was a good save (laughing).

Q. What are you going to be working on this afternoon going into the final round?

HAILEY LOH: I think I'm going to work on my short putting and definitely my chipping. I think those are the areas I can improve the most. So I'm definitely also going to have a lot of rest today. This course is very difficult to walk.
