Quick Quotes

Q. This is your ninth U.S. Open. What does it mean to you to be playing --

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Is it 10?

Q. Sorry about that. What does it mean to you to be playing a major here in Los Angeles in the Riviera?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: It's nice. It's always good to come back to L.A. and play. I feel like it's very familiar here. It doesn't feel like a U.S. Open because maybe it's in L.A. So I guess that's good.

Q. And how is the course playing conditions-wise out there?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: It was tough today with the wind. The greens firmed up a lot. Yeah, just got to be precise with everything, and I feel like my short game was pretty good to save all those pars and convert when I needed to.

Q. What's a major positive you're going to take away from today's round going into tomorrow?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Just keep the momentum going. I feel like we still have -- I still leave a lot out there in terms of stuff, but I scored really well. If anything, I just want to maybe hit my drives a little bit better tomorrow.
