Q. Moving day. Nine birdies today. How does it feel to be right back near the top of the leaderboard?

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I had a little bit of a slow start, so it's nice to reel off some birdies in the middle there. You know, end up with a nice score to be contending for tomorrow. Happy how I played today.

Q. Ton of pars yesterday. What was the difference to all the birdies this afternoon?

MINJEE LEE: Definitely just the shots were a little bit closer and I had a few more looks for birdies.

So and then they dropped so that was the biggest difference from yesterday and today.

Q. How much are you enjoying the consistency of 2025? Featuring so much on the LPGA.

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, no, it's been a lot of fun. After KPMG I kind of have had nice finishes these past few weeks, so it's been -- golf is in a fun place at the moment.

Q. We've had an amazing amount of different winners on Tour this year, almost a record. Can you change that tomorrow and become a second-time winner this year?

MINJEE LEE: You know, there is still a lot of holes to be played and it's a pretty stacked leaderboard at the moment, so, you know, I'm just going to try and have fun. It's just super hot this whole week and I'm sure it'll be really hot tomorrow.

So I'm just trying to keep as cool as possible out there. Yeah, no, just going to try and enjoy myself as much as I can and try and try and post a good score.
