Q. Alongside Haeran Ryu. Beautiful round of golf today to follow up your 63 yesterday. What is it about this golf course and this place that is enabling you to play such good golf?

HAERAN RYU: Yeah, yesterday was so amazing day for me, but today start a little bit tough.

But I just wait for my first birdie and I make some chip-in and it's amazing birdie.

And then, yeah, today is a good day again because I got eagle and chip-in birdie.

Lots of good things today that's good for me.

Q. I was looking at your score and you made nine birdies yesterday, but only one birdie on the par-5s. Today you had the eagle and a birdie, so much better on the par-5s. Was that a goal to improve the par-5s today?

HAERAN RYU: Yesterday I played in the morning so was a little bit cold and my drive distance a little bit less than today. So today I play in the afternoon, so, yeah, I got a little more shot of club, second shot on the par-5, so I make some eagle and birdie.

Yeah, that's good thing for the par-5 today.

Q. I know every player out here, their goal is to win. After 36 holes you are going to be the leader. Usually you do quite well when you've led after 36 holes. This is your second time doing so. Thoughts on the weekend with your good play so far and what you need to do Saturday and Sunday?

HAERAN RYU: Yeah, maybe tomorrow and final round was I think a little bit windy than first two rounds, but I think here is a little bit narrow because a lot rocks outside the fairway.

So I just thinking more keeping fairway and keeping green and I just want to make some -- just waiting for the chance. Yeah, that's goal my final round.
