Quick Quotes
Q. Joined by Yealimi Noh after her third round at the Kroger Queen City Championship. You made the biggest move probably of the day - looking like it so far - on moving day. What went into this round?
YEALIMI NOH: I was hitting it very well, putting it very well. Had a lot of good looks, so hit a lot of fairways, a lot of greens. Chipping was good, and just everything kind of fell into place today.
Q. Obviously a ton of scoring opportunities for you on this card. What were you doing to put yourself in those scoring opportunities?
YEALIMI NOH: I think just staying really parent, just giving myself, again, a lot of opportunities, hitting it close and then making some long putts today. It was good.
Q. After struggling over the last couple months, what was the difference today?
YEALIMI NOH: I just felt a lot more comfortable. Obviously making the cut yesterday, too, just gave me a lot more freedom to play well today and just let everything fall into place.
Q. What have you worked on coming into this week?
YEALIMI NOH: Just minor tweaks, a little bit on my swing, just getting a little bit more turn, flatter, and then just working on my putting, just getting the stroke dialed in. The just getting some rest after a couple weeks of a lot going on, so it's been good.
Q. Do you feel like you're in a better place with your game than you were a few weeks ago?
YEALIMI NOH: For sure. Today was really great. I feel like even yesterday, just a 2-under round, but I started off bogey-bogey-bogey, and then being able to fight back from that but just stay calm and in the moment gave me a lot of confidence for today to just play a lot more free.
Q. You obviously got off to such a strong start to the year. What do you feel like changed that you're trying to get back to now in this second half in the season?
YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, it's a long season, and then trying to stay consistent, I think, is the most important thing. It's a lot; the travel, the stress and all the rounds and everything, it can add up. But I think just sticking to my routine, getting back to the basics, just keeping everything simple has helped a lot.
Q. A very different scorecard this round compared to your other ones. Did you see a round like this out there the last couple days?
YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, I was hitting it so much better. The first day I think I missed one fairway, and it's been a while since I've had that, so it made me feel a lot more comfortable with my drives, and just yeah, the putter was rolling really well from the start of the week.
Q. Heading into Sunday, probably going to be towards the top. Do you lean on anything from your Founders win when you're in this moment or is it just trust the process that you've been working on?
YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, just trust the process. Obviously today has given me so much more confidence, and I think just moving off of that and then staying calm and in the moment.
Q. I think this is the first time we've gotten to talk to you since; it's been about a month and a half or so, whatever it's been. You just talked to Amy about adding the struggles of traveling and playing, adding wedding planning now to your list of things to do. How has that all been working in conjunction with golf?
YEALIMI NOH: It's been good. When I have my free time, I do all my stuff. I'm a natural planner, so I enjoy it, so it's been really nice.
Yeah, just a lot going on, and it's nice to see a good round today and hopefully a good end to the week.
