Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Celina after her second round here at the Mizuho Americas Open. Pretty good round from you today. Currently clubhouse leader. What went into the round?

CELINA YEO: I mean, the wind started to pick up on the back nine but I started pretty strong. I started on hole 10, so last -- yesterday I played not bad, but I think today was better. And I struggled a little bit on the back nine from one to nine, but I ended up pretty -- finished pretty strong.

So, yeah.

Q. How were you able to navigate the tougher conditions we had today?

CELINA YEO: I think my home course back in Canada is similar weather, you know, the wind, and I've been used to it, I've been practicing and preparing for this because I knew it was going to be pretty windy out here.

But overall I just feel very strong with my game right now so I think, yeah.

Q. Is there any different approach you have to this week knowing it's Stableford format versus regular stroke play?

CELINA YEO: I think the mindset is a bit different because you're not thinking about the score and obviously we can't calculate the points ourselves.

So I think that just gives us kind of like nothing in our heads and just kind of taking each shot at a time. So, yeah.

Q. How much are you looking forward to this weekend getting to play now along with the LPGA players?

CELINA YEO: I'm so excited. So excited. I can't wait to see who I'm playing with tomorrow and on Sunday. Yeah, just I'm just really grateful to be having this opportunity and to learn from them, so, yeah.

Q. Not to put you on the spot, but anyone in particular you'd be most excited to play with?

CELINA YEO: My favorite player is Ina Yoon from Korea. I played with her in the practice round, but definitely want to play with her tomorrow or Sunday, yeah.
