Q. Here with Ina Yoon after her third round at the 2026 LOTTE Championship. Ina, 19 birdies through 54 holes. That's tied for most in the field this week. What's been key to success in giving yourself birdie opportunities out here?

INA YOON: My shot was great overall and putting was awesome, but today was little windy because, yeah, it was little challenging for me. But I think stayed calm and tried to focus on each shot.

So that's how I made many birdies I guess, yeah.

Q. And then going off that, you had the birdie on 18. That put yourself into T2. Did you know you were chasing down the leaderboard at that point?

INA YOON: Nope. (Laughter.) I didn't look at the scoreboard, so I didn't know that.

Q. And just talk us through that hole a little bit on 18.

INA YOON: You know, I just want to make one more birdie, so try to, you know, little more focus until second shot because it's not an easy one. So try to make a small version, and I made it.

Q. Okay. And then just two bogeys through three rounds here. What do you feel like is playing so well with this course that maybe plays to the strengths of your game?

INA YOON: I think this golf course is good for like long hitter, so I think -- I believe I'm kind of long driver player, so maybe that's help, helps a lot.

And iron shot and putting of course. Yeah, it's been great, my game-wise.

Q. And last question from me: How do you hope to keep this momentum tomorrow? You'll be in one the last groups, so how do you hope to hunt down the leaders?

INA YOON: You know, Jeeno is such a great player, so it's very good to play with her on the final group. Just want to learn a lot from her and just enjoy walking out the course.
