Quick Quotes 2

Q. Here with Nelly Korda after a very good moving day. You mentioned that you've been putting well but still seeing some edges burned here and there. Did today suffice? Because you played really well out there.

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, definitely. I think it's good when the putts are burning edges. Let's you know it's just about a centimeter here and there for it to drop.

So it may be frustrating, but at the end of the day you can turn it in a positive twist.

Yeah, it's good to back up a solid round yesterday to today.

Q. You haven't finished outside of the top 10 in the last four years. What is it about this golf course? I feel like you've played it a million times. Maybe it's that. What is it about Tiburon?

NELLY KORDA: I think you can be pretty aggressive out here. I think growing up on bermuda really helps. Being comfortable and having family and friends come down and cheer me on is always really nice.

But overall, yeah, I'm very happy with the way I play out here. Hopefully another good one tomorrow.

Q. It feels like the irons are doing what you want them to do, the new irons. Are they?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, I warm up with actually it's completely out of the ordinary for me, but I warm up with a quad just to see how far they're flying to gauge how far they'll be flying for the round; add a few more (indiscernible) for adrenaline. Yeah, really happy with the way that they're performing. Hopefully have a good solid round tomorrow.

Q. Last question. It seems like this tournament, the cream of the crop always rise to the top. You and Jeeno at the top. Super fun. It's going to be great for fans. What is it about this event? It's the big purse. Kind of feels like another major. That makes all the good players play even better.

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, then also it's the last event of the year so everyone is really motivated to finish really well to cap off the year. I would say all of it plays a part.
