Q. 5-under on the front. You hit 18 greens. What is it about these greens, especially on the back nine, that you struggled with that made putting so difficult today?

RUONING YIN: I think this green I've said it multiple times, you just need to leave yourself an you will hit putt. I didn't do that on the back nine, so which is a little tough because I remember I think I had 10-footer on 16 and I three putted.

But those pins you just cannot be above the hole.

Q. Back-to-back runner-up finishes now. What needs to happen for you to get back in the winner's circle?

RUONING YIN: I think my game is quite on spot, but I also say this week, let's say if this week I want to win, but I just need to make less three putts. I think I had seven three putts, so if I can, you know, make to two, three, or four, I had a chance.

So I would say just this week for me just putting, yeah.

Q. I know you told me you would rather it be you, but how happy for your good friend Jeeno to take home win this week?

RUONING YIN: Yeah, 100%. I think Jeeno, she's just an amazing player and she's very consistent, and I think I got a lot learn from her. It's really nice to see her defend her title. She gave me s*** last year for me not being there so I'm going to be there soon.

Q. All right. Get down there. Make sure you don't get any of that. We'll see you guys.

RUONING YIN: Thank you.
