Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Ariya after her third round here at the Black Desert Resort. Take us through the day today.

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: It was really tough out there. You know, it's really windy. I just have like a bit struggle with like start the line off the tee, but overall it's pretty good. Like I have to fight all day because it's really windy.

Q. Despite that, still very much squarely in contention. How different did the course play today with the rain and wind and all that?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I would say we play totally different golf course. I feel like it's new golf course like ever play like this before. Yeah, just like another challenge.

Q. How much did it change your strategy coming into today knowing there might be weather?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I would say today have to be patient and shot by shot. Can't really do much because the wind is really strong out there.

Q. You've only got two bogeys here on the week. What's the success to keep out of those bogey situations?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I have double, too.

Q. Yeah.

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: Just like when you have bogey or double, I just miss my tee shot. Just need to make sure I have good start line and commit with my tee shot.

Q. Obviously a very tight leaderboard at the top. What's it going to take to hopefully capture another win here on the LPGA?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: You know, it's lots of golf to go and we never know what going to happen, so just go out and have fun and have good commitment.

Q. I was just going to ask you, you have the most wins of anyone at the top of the leaderboard. You know what it takes. What kind of confidence does that give you? Do you feel like you're maybe a little scary coming from behind a little bit?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I think I'm a lot behind, so did not pay attention about win the tournament. Just want to go out and hope tomorrow is not too windy so we can do something different.
