Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
Q. You were already through to the semifinals going into today, team USA, after an amazing first two days. But nothing changed, did it, Lauren? You and Lilia were superb out there yet again.
LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, we ham and egged it really well again today; traded birdies pretty much all day.
Hannah and Grace played really well, but we were able to kind of just put the pedal down all day.
Q. Lilia, couple of good putts out there. You said how LC has been kind of the rock. It seemed to be that this team, it's coming together at just the right time.
LILIA VU: Yeah, it's so fun playing with Lauren. We're really close, super comfortable out there. I told her, I was like, I'll just make the par and you go for the birdie.
And that's what happened on the back nine.
Q. That's all you need. You only need one birdie. You two Californians, once again saw a few fist pumps in there. Angel, you seem to be built for match play.
ANGEL YIN: Really? (Laughter.) I'll take it. I'll take it.
I mean, we got a long day ahead, 36 holes. Let's keep it rolling.
Q. And what does it feel like, Yealimi, in that situation that you had today with the Australians? Did you know what they needed coming down the last few holes?
YEALIMI NOH: I wasn't paying too much attention to their points and their scores. I was just focused on beating them. (Laughter.)
Q. Yeah, that putt on 16, that looked heartbreaking.
ANGEL YIN: So clutch. So good.
YEALIMI NOH: That was fun, that was cool.
ANGEL YIN: Everything is good.
Q. Dinner last night, what did you do? Did you do Korean barbecue in the end?
LILIA VU: You did like five things.
YEALIMI NOH: I did. I did a couple things. I got a burger, I got tacos, and finished with some Korean.
Q. Just trying to find the secret of why you lot have been undefeated all week. So looking into tomorrow, you're going to play Japan. Have you had any ideas about foursomes, singles, setup?
LILIA VU: I think we have a good idea.
LAUREN COUGHLIN: Yeah, we have a good idea.
ANGEL YIN: Yeah, we turn it in, we have a good idea. We have discussed it. Our caddies have discussed it. So everybody is on the same page.
Our biggest supporters are supporting us out there tomorrow and our cheering team is out there. I think everybody is set in their place. Everybody is just going to go.
