Q. 6-under today, you're going to be two, maybe three shots off the lead. We'll see how Lottie finishes, but how do you assess your day?

SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, it's pretty solid. Today is a good round. The last birdie helps for tomorrow. So yeah, I had an eagle on hole 14. So I made a long putt.

Played quite solid today.

Q. We were joking yesterday, your caddie was joking, that you have to be more like Scottie Scheffler. How were you out there today compared to how Scottie Scheffler is?

SEI YOUNG KIM: I don't know, maybe today is a little bit similar, a little bit, yeah. But yeah, very calm today. Wasn't like up and down. Even though I had a miss on some holes, I try to reset and then try to calm and stay focused again.

Yeah, it's kind of similar today.

Q. What is it about this course, the par 5s in general, that you have been able to take advantage of?

SEI YOUNG KIM: Depends on what direction, you can get an advantage from the tee shot but from the pin, the second shot, two, ten metres. So I tried to hit the bunker shot. I hit it really solid but when I still get the lie, I can see, oh, it's going to be -- I can make it. But it feels like -- oh, yeah.

Q. How good does it feel to have the week that you're having, especially knowing the AIG is coming up next?
