Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Yuna, just take us through the round today. What worked well for you?

YUNA ARAKI: (Through translation.) I had a good start from No. 1 and keep it the good momentum all the 18 holes, so pretty smooth golf today.

Q. How was it getting to play with some of the LPGA Tour players?

YUNA ARAKI: (Through translation.) I played with Chisato Iwai, and from my point of view there is no weak point on Chisato, very aggressive and then that's make me surprise and also admire her.

Q. You're 8-under through two rounds. You just praised Chisato. Does seeing your score make you believe you can compete out here and have no weaknesses as well?

YUNA ARAKI: (Through translation.) This moment, yes, I have pretty much confident to play each day, you know. But I have to keep that momentum for four days. That's my next goal.

Q. How do you keep that momentum for the next couple days and then hopefully win on Sunday?

YUNA ARAKI: (Through translation.) Actually I have two more days, so for next day, try to play calm and then concentrate, play better.

And then after that, I think about it.
