Quick Quotes

Q. All right, joining us after the second round of Dow Championship are Juli Inkster and Angel Yin. Juli, as of right now you have become the oldest person to make an LPGA cut. Can you just talk a little bit about that?

ANGEL YIN: (Laughing.) Sorry.

JULI INKSTER: Well, I had a great partner. Yeah, it's great. I mean, you know, I'm happy I played. Sometimes you got to put yourself out there and I felt like did I that this week.

I've enjoyed playing with Angel. We left a lot of them out there today.

ANGEL YIN: A lot.

JULI INKSTER: But you know what, hopefully we have two more days and we can see what we can do.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah. Frick & Frack.

JULI INKSTER: Yeah, we were definitely Frick & Frack today.

ANGEL YIN: My gosh it was frustrating.

JULI INKSTER: We were not ham and egg.

ANGEL YIN: No. Yesterday we were. Did really good yesterday. Should have interviewed us yesterday.

Q. You said at the beginning of the week ion your pre-tournament press conference tat you just wanted come out and have fun this week. How has it been and how is that reflecting on the golf course?

JULI INKSTER: I thought the course played hard today.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah.

JULI INKSTER: I hit a lot of woods.

ANGEL YIN: I think when it starts lipping out it gets hard, right?

JULI INKSTER: And you're not getting any roll.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah.

JULI INKSTER: Yeah, I though the course played tough. Linn and Maja played great today. I mean, we just threw up on ourself a couple times.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, we did. It was right in front of us and we were trying to clean it up and didn't not work.

JULI INKSTER: But, yeah, nothing we can do. We just move forward. I think we both need to go work on our putting a little bit.

ANGEL YIN: I'm going to change putters.

JULI INKSTER: There you go.

Q. Two more rounds this weekend. Anything you're changing with your strategy or anything you're changing in your approach?

JULI INKSTER: No. I think the way we played alternate shot yesterday worked out really well. You know, because a lot of the even holes are long and so I can just hit my drive and she can hit whatever in.

But the best ball, we just got to stop making mistakes. So I think we had three or four bogeys out there.

ANGEL YIN: It's almost just a momentum thing, too, right, once you get it good. Maja and Linn really ham and egged out really well. Like Maja has the back or the front and then Linn really picked canned it up.

JULI INKSTER: Yeah.

ANGEL YIN: If we do that, we're going to be really nice.

JULI INKSTER: Yeah, you can't make bogeys and we made three or four, so.

Q. And last one: We were sitting in there at scoring and there were quite a few holes today, Juli, that they took your score. How good does it feel to be out here and competitive?

ANGEL YIN: She was really watching us.

JULI INKSTER: You know, this course is long for me, but I enjoy the challenge of it. And Angel always is very positive out there with me even though I hit bad shots, so it makes it kind of less stressful.

ANGEL YIN: I think there's a lot of clips of you making long putts.

JULI INKSTER: Yeah.

ANGEL YIN: You drained some long ones.

JULI INKSTER: Couple long ones.

ANGEL YIN: So that was really good.

JULI INKSTER: We're fine. We hope we make the cut because I would love to play two more days.

ANGEL YIN: Me too. I would like to stay in my host housing for two more days.

JULI INKSTER: You probably will anyway.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah.
