Quick Quotes

Q. All right, joining me today after the third round of the LOTTE Championship by Nelly Korda. Nelly, good round today; bogey-free yesterday. Can you just talk a bit about your experience on the course so far?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, it's definitely been gustier the past two days. Picked up today I think the most out of the three rounds.

Getting, you know, a round under par and then also be in contention is a good feeling heading into I want to say Sunday but Saturday.

Q. Yeah. Obviously being in contention is nothing new for you. Is this something that you think about when you go home or just leave it all out there?

NELLY KORDA: No, I just kind of -- I don't try to think about it too much. I try to focus one shot at a time and see how my day goes.

For me the most important thing is giving 100% to every shot. That's what I'm going to do tomorrow. You never know. Golf is a crazy sport. Sports are crazy. You sometimes just need a little bit of momentum.

When you give it your all that's the only thing you can control, and that's what I'm going to try and control tomorrow.

Q. Knowing it's gustier out here, what's going to be the primary focus tomorrow?

NELLY KORDA: Dial in on a small target and a number in my head and trying to commit to that.
