Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Yuna Nishimura after her second round here at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G. Nine birdies on the scorecard from you today. Just what has been working so well for you this week?

YUNA NISHIMURA: (Through translation.) My short irons were working really well so I was able to put it close to the pin and kind of all worked out for me.

Q. You've only missed two greens in regulation so far this week. Has that kind of been the key to your success?

YUNA NISHIMURA: (Through translation.) Yes, definitely, but I was a little disappointed on the 13th, but overall I was kind of relieved by it. Not too much pressure on myself and it worked out.

Q. Holding such a big lead heading into tomorrow, what's the mindset going to be?

YUNA NISHIMURA: (Through translation.) So it's going to be the same thing again tomorrow, but I would like to go for 20-under.

Q. And then only one bogey for you so far. You said just a slight mishap on 13. What have you been doing to keep yourself out of those bogey situations in?

YUNA NISHIMURA: (Through translation.) So I haven't really been telling myself not to make bogeys, but I am trying to play this course aggressively.

Q. Do you change your aggressiveness at all knowing how big after lead you'll have going into tomorrow?

YUNA NISHIMURA: (Through translation.) Things are going well so I really don't want to change anything. Just the same thing tomorrow.
