Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: We're here with Ruoning Yin. What were some of the challenges you saw today compared to what you saw from the course yesterday?

RUONING YIN: I think today's biggest challenge is my putting. I made a couple of three-putts, and I think that's when I lost my stroke. I just three-putt.

THE MODERATOR: We'll open it up for questions.

Q. Did the rain make the pace of the greens different from what you had seen?

RUONING YIN: Yeah, I felt like because when I do my warmup, the green was pretty fast, but once I was on the course, the grown was super slow. So it was kind of hard to judge the green speed.

Q. What was the impact of the rain. Was it more annoying than anything, or did you get...

RUONING YIN: I'm fine with it. Just my whole thing. Can't control the speed very well. Yeah, that's it.

Q. How many holes did you play without rain today, do you think?

RUONING YIN: Probably just the first hole.

Q. Just the first hole?

RUONING YIN: Yeah.

Q. Oh, wow. Were you able to catch up with Janet at all yesterday?

RUONING YIN: No, because we finished pretty late yesterday, and after I see my physio, I just went home to sleep. I didn't have time to catch up with her, but maybe we'll do it today.

Q. We had a good laugh yesterday when she was telling us how you rent her house and how she considered raising the rent after you made a big winner's check.

RUONING YIN: Oh, yeah. I'm ready. I'm ready for that.

Q. You wouldn't be upset about it?

RUONING YIN: No. I mean, she helped me a lot. Yeah, it's reasonable.

Q. What will you take away from this round heading into the rest of the week knowing you are still up at the top and still in contention?

RUONING YIN: Like I said yesterday, my ball striking was quite on spot. I just need to figure out the speed control with my putting. That's all.
