Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Charley after the second round of the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. 7-under 65 today. Briefly walk through your round today.

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I just played pretty steady from the getgo. I hit it pretty decently and took advantage of some good birdie holes and hit it close and holed some good putts.

Q. Talk about the birdie holes. A lot of the par-5s out here seem to be gettable. Eagled one today; couple birdies on them. How important is it just to take care of those par-5s?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, 100%. Like they're very gettable, but there is a lot of birdie holes out there and tricky holes at the same time. You just got to be patient and be aggressive at the same time and just hole some putts.

Q. And then is it kind of pick and choose when to be aggressive when there are this many birdies or are you always firing at the pin?

CHARLEY HULL: I'm just firing at the pin pretty much. I like going at the pins. I find it boring otherwise.

Q. Finishing with two birdies has to put a good taste in your mouth heading into the next 36.

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, will make dinner taste a little better tonight, some salmon and sweet potatoes and asparagus. Looking forward to getting good sleep and two more rounds left and flying home Sunday night.

Q. How do you manage playing so aggressively? You seem go so low when you're firing at pins and having a good time.

CHARLEY HULL: I don't know. I don't really think about it. It just comes naturally. Just hit the shot and hit it again. That's all I think about really.

Q. I know you like hitting that driver quite a bit. Has it been fun to kind of unleash a few out here knowing you can take advantage of some of that length off the tee?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, definitely. Like I enjoy hitting my driver. If you're going to hit your driver, might as well be down there 30 yards closer that hitting a rescue wood.

Q. Greens are obviously really undulating. What have you seen with the lines this week?

CHARLEY HULL: I don't know. Same as every week. It's another golf course to me. Hit it close and hope you hole putts.

Q. We know how much you love this chasing energy. How excited are you for the weekend?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I can't wait. Just like to hunt someone down.

Q. You briefly mentioned in your pre-tournament press conference about your ankle. How is that holding up?

CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, today was actually the first day it feels pretty sore, but it's going to be. It's like my second week on the trot.

Obviously coming into like last week I only had like -- I only had done like three weeks before that, so it's a fast turnaround, so obviously going to hurt a little bit. Just got to manage it and not play too much.

Q. You said pain is weakness of the mind. What's the key to the mental toughness?

CHARLEY HULL: I don't know. When I was younger if I fell over my dad would always be like, you break anything? No? Well just stand back up then. I'd be like, yeah, true. As a kid I've always been like that. Just like that, yeah, tough love.

Appreciate it.
