Quick Quotes

Q. Great round today; you're coming in as a co-leader. Walk me through your round today. What worked?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: I was steady today. Hit my driver better. Yesterday wasn't so great. I hit my driver better. We played steady, made a couple putts, and then limped it in a little bit on 15 and 16. Had a three-putt and then I made a mistake on 16, called my caddie off and I should have listened. But otherwise I was pretty solid today. We made good decisions.

Q. Did you notice any difficulty with the hole locations?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: Yeah, there were some tough ones today. You could tell it was moving day. It looked like they were trying to separate people. When we started, the wind was at its peak for sure, so the first, I would say, eight holes, seven holes for sure, that wind was a factor, then it sort of leveled off to more what we were used to.

It wasn't easy today for sure.

Q. How will you remain calm and focused as we approach tomorrow?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: My caddie does a great job of keeping me in it, in the moment. Between now and tomorrow, I've been getting a lot of foot rubs. There's a place by the hotel that I've been getting foot massages, and I'll probably do that again. That keeps me relaxed.

The head gets spinning for sure. I try and just watch TV or just drag myself back into the present when I start to get spinning a little bit. It's a challenge. What are we doing to ourselves? This is supposed to be fun, I guess.

Q. What part of your game are you most proud of this week?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: I putted well. Scott is a great green reader. He's my putting coach. I putted well.

But I've been pretty solid tee to green for most of the days. Yesterday my driver wasn't great, but I've been pretty good every place, in every aspect of it, so it's been pretty solid. I don't think you get to this position being a bit sketchy. I've been pretty solid.

Q. What is your reset routine? You mentioned the foot rubs. For tomorrow what are you going to do to prepare?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: Very similar to today. I've eaten at the same place every day. It's a barbecue place downtown, so I'll go have a shower and walk and go get some food. They already know me there. Then I'll try and have a bit of a nap -- it's too late for that now because I guess it's a little bit late in the day.

But I'll put my feet up and try and get some sleep. There's not much sleeping once the tournament starts, not for me, it's not very settled sleep. But do what I can to rest up. It's the between stuff. Once you get on the golf course, it's okay, but in between, it's the waiting, it's the this, so it's a challenge, that's for sure.

Q. You're from LaQuinta, right?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: I'm from Canada. From Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada, near Edmonton, and then I live in LaQuinta.

Q. How does it feel to play in your home state?

CORINA KELEPOURIS: It feels good. It's a home game. I drove my car over so I can put a bunch of stuff in there. But it feels good. I've got a lot of support and a lot of people texting and tough, as does everybody, I'm sure. So it's cool.
