Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, Janet, take us through your round today. Another bogey-free one for you here at the TOTO Japan Classic.

XIYU LIN: I think it's another solid round. I struggle with my shoulder a little bit in the morning, so I definitely didn't expect this to happen when I was hitting balls on the range because I was hitting them pretty poorly.

I think it get better throughout the day. I hit lots of quality shots and I think overall it's a really good round.

Q. What were some of the highlight birdies out there for you today?

XIYU LIN: I would say the first two birdie because like I said, I was still adjusting, and I think at the beginning I wasn't hitting yardages I'm hitting with the shoulder, so I was just swinging very smooth.

Somehow I managed to hit first two ball pretty close and managed to make the putt. I think that gave me lots of confidence and put me in a really comfortable position to keep attacking.

Q. How have you been limiting the mistakes out there? I know you're bogey-free for two rounds.

XIYU LIN: I think I just stay as aggressive as I can because actually these greens are big. Then I would say it's not a very long approach shot for me, so I think if I aim at the pin, even I miss it a little bit, it wouldn't be so bad.

That has been my strategy.

Q. What are you hoping to do to make a lot more birdie on moving day.

XIYU LIN: I still need to make some putt. Like today I had six birdies, but it all knocked really close, so I actually still miss out some birdie opportunity out there.

And I think the greens are really pure, so I need to be more confidence on my putting stroke.
