Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Rio Takeda after her third round. Rio, hole-out eagle on the last hole. Can you just tell me, talk me through that shot and if you saw it go in and how excited you were with that finish.

RIO TAKEDA: I used my pitching wedge in the end and I wasn't able to see the ball go in. Afterwards I was able to see with everyone's reaction that it went in and it felt great.

Q. You climbed up the leaderboard a lot today. What went really well during today's round?

RIO TAKEDA: The wind was incredibly strong today, so my goal was thought to make any bogeys at all. When I had a chance I wanted to make birdies.

Q. Going into tomorrow, very good placement. What are some of the goals, strategies, just thoughts heading into Sunday here in New York?

RIO TAKEDA: Tomorrow I just want to concentrate on my own golf and make as many birdies as I can.
