Quick Quotes

MIYU YAMASHITA: Today was good overall, and my tee shots were very consistent, so I was able to hit from the fairway. I played really consistent golf today.

In the second half, my par-on rate was lower than in the first half, but I was able to make 1.5 metre par putts on the 16th and 17th holes, so I think that was a big factor.

I didn't make any particular adjustments to my swing, but the wind was strong, so I think shots are important, as well as club selection and the direction I aim at the target. So things like that are important, so I played while keeping in mind the image I've been practicing so far.

There was less wind than yesterday, so the vertical distance of the green was right. The wind started to pick up around the 14th hole, so I felt it got a little more difficult from that point on.

Q. What's your score and ranking after Day 2?

MIYU YAMASHITA: I haven't particularly worried about expected scores until now. I'm always thinking about competing for a high ranking in each tournament, and I just played with my day in mind. So I'm glad that my score and ranking worked out.

Q. (Question about the lead?)

MIYU YAMASHITA: I'm still in the early group, so I don't know what will happen after this. I'm glad that today was today. The wind will probably get stronger tomorrow, so I'd like to work hard to improve my score again tomorrow.

The temperature changes throughout the day, so I tried to stay warm as much as possible.

I'm also managing my caddie well, so I often rely on him rather than playing alone, and I feel reassured that I can take on the challenge with a relationship of trust.

I have some time until tomorrow, so I'm going to take a short break after this, have lunch, and then my dad is here, so I'd like to work on any areas I need to improve. He says my swing isn't bad, and I also want to keep my rhythm.

With the wind, I'm conscious of how important it is to keep the same rhythm throughout the round.
