Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Jenny Bae after the second round of the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. 3-under 69. Briefly walk through your day a little bit today.

JENNY BAE: I think it was as calm as it could have been. I made a few mistakes, but it was really kind of easy for me to cover it up. Today I feel like everything was going with the flow, and so I felt kind of peaceful out there.

Q. Honestly, kind of you said a steady day. 12 greens, seven fairways; scrambling around a little bit. Was it just a lot of close chips that were stress-free that got you out there?

JENNY BAE: For sure. I mean, all my around-the-green saves were relatively easy today. I just had a few wrong bounces off tee shots and it was just unfortunately in the rough.

Again, it was really peaceful today.

Q. And then a lot of one-putts on the front nine. Talk about how important it is putting out here.

JENNY BAE: I mean, I feel like if you can't read greens out here, especially on this golf course, it would be really hard. It's very slopey and the greens are pretty narrow from our point of view.

But I feel like today I just trusted my game, just leaned on my instincts. It kind of guided me well.

Q. And then a runner-up finish this year, three wins on the Epson Tour, in contention going into weekend. How nice is it to have those nerves and feelings going into the weekend?

JENNY BAE: Having a few wins off of Epson Tour definitely helps me. I can kind of lean back and think about what I went through back then.

But I think my only focus tomorrow is just to play shot by shot and just see what happens.

Q. And is there anything that you're going to draw on off those wins on Epson and even that runner-up finish earlier this year?

JENNY BAE: I feel like if there is one thing that I learned, it's to try to control my nerves out there. Actually a friend of mine told me a few months back, one thing that really helps is touch ice; just mess around with ice when you're walking to your ball. Try not to think of what shot you're going to hit.

I've been doing that. It's been serving me well.

Q. Mess with ice. Is that picking it up out of the cooler? Is your caddie carrying some ice now?

JENNY BAE: No. I just pick random ones. Typically the big chunks out the ice coolers and mess around with it.
