Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Ruixin, pretty incredible round today.

RUIXIN LIU: Thank you.

Q. 63; bogey-free.

RUIXIN LIU: Uh-huh.

Q. What got into you today?

RUIXIN LIU: Well, I got into a very hot start, two birdies in a row. Putting is very good. I'm very quite aggressive towards the pin today.

Yesterday I thought the cut was going to be at 1-over, so I have to birdie the last one to get in there. You know, I think that final putt really pumps me up a little bit so today I just play really freely.

Q. Any of those holes stand out? Were you hitting it close? You said your putter was good.

RUIXIN LIU: I hit them close a lot today. Hole 7 I had an eagle. That one stands out because the second shot was a 4-hybrid like 200 yards and I was able to put it in to three feet and make an easy eagle out of that, yeah.

Q. First rounds at Evian in the 60s.

RUIXIN LIU: Yeah.

Q. This is a challenging course; to get that off you?

RUIXIN LIU: Well, you know, I miss cut here two times previously, so this is actually my first time ever make the cut. You know, it was very excited for me to play in the weekend and I just don't have any pressure at all. It just feels amazing right now.

Q. I don't want to put pressure on you but you played your way into contention. You're several strokes back from the lead, certainly be teeing off on No. 1 tomorrow. What are the thoughts going into the last day?

RUIXIN LIU: You know, I just want to -- again, my priority just to have fun. That's how I talk to myself in Boston last year, because I play very good in the third round as well.

So just try to do the same thing: Attack the pin but also just have fun and no stress.

Q. You mentioned Boston. This is your career low round. Before that it was your two 64s at Boston. Were you having the same feelings during those rounds?

RUIXIN LIU: I mean, today definitely feels very similar to the Boston third round. I don't want to say what I'm going to feel like tomorrow. Nobody knows. But hopefully I can do the same thing like I did today. Yeah.
