Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Hyo Joo after her third round of the Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass. Insane 11 you said from you today. What was working so well?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) First of all, overall, all round everything was great. Putter, iron, driver, everything was as I would want it to go, and feeling very good about how I played.

Q. What is maybe going through your mind as you're seeing some of the putts drop, the ball go in the hole over and over again and you're seeing your score go down?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) I play with my mind, just focusing on one shot at a time. When I think about the shots, whether it's striking a certain distance or how I play, I just focus on each at a time.

Q. Yeah. What's the mindset knowing the lead you have in a course you are familiar with at a place you've already won?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) Again, my mindset would be with one day left, I'm just going to focus on the same shots as I did today. This course, anyone is capable of scoring low, so I will continue to just focus on the same game plan that I did today.

Q. Last one: Going on round five or six now playing with Nelly. What's it been like getting to play with her the last couple days?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) Nelly is my favorite player. It's been great playing together. You know, it's been great playing with her, competing with her and it's just been fun overall.
