Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Minjee Lee after the third round of the Buick LPGA Shanghai. Can you talk a little bit about the bunker on 17 I think it was?

MINJEE LEE: I mean, I didn't feel like I hit that bad of a shot in. I hit my 7-wood, but, I mean, it didn't go as far as I thought. Just got plugged. Sometimes you get an unlucky bounce or whatever. Yeah, no, just got plugged and it was really, really hard to hit it. It was hanging on by a thread.

I was happy that it actually came out, but the putt was really long and three-putted there, but overall I had a good day. I'm not going to think too much on that.

Q. Can you talk about what you think the key is to playing well out here? Seems to be a lot of players hitting it close.

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I think because of the condition of the greens, like you can be pretty aggressive, and I think because of the conditions, they've been putting -- LPGA has set up the pins where there is some kind of (indiscernible) the grass.

I think maybe a little more spots where they're accessible, so, yeah, I think you -- it's easier to hit them like pin, target than target the pin.

Q. You talked yesterday about 1% better. Talk about that mindset heading into tomorrow's round.

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I can't control what anyone else is doing, so I'm just going to focus on what I can do and do it to the best of my ability.

So, you know I'm just going to try and execute every single shot like 100% and just try and be super committed. Like I said, it's really hot out there, so just trying to be, you know, mentally focused and try to put one foot in front of the other is going to be important.

Q. Last question: Yesterday was World Mental Health Day. How important do you think mental health is in golf?

MINJEE LEE: I mean, not just in golf. Any sports and in everyday life. Everybody goes through some something any day or every day that can impact your mental health.

So I think it's super important that you have a friend or family to be able to talk to. I'm really lucky that I have a great team. Yeah, anyone can come talk to me I guess. Yeah. I think it's super important.
