Quick Quotes

Q. You had five birdie; bogey-free round today. Explain your round today.

ANA BELAC: Yeah, I think that was my first bogey-free of the year. I think so. But, yeah, actually had a pretty rough start. Didn't hit very many greens so I just scrambled really well. I think that just kept me going.

And then I figure out my ball striking on the back nine a little bit and started making a few putts, so it was just like a really nice momentum.

Q. First two round you were talking about the ramen is your favorite Japanese food. Do you think you have ramen power?

ANA BELAC: I mean, sure. I had it last night too because I couldn't break the tradition. I had it like very single night this week. I think I won't have to tonight because I'm sick of it a little bit.

But, yeah, I think it was the ramen.

Q. And how was the overall experience in Japan this week?

ANA BELAC: I mean, it was great. I was really excited about this tournament and just like not knowing until the very last second if I was going to play or not. Just an overall great week and I'm just really glad I'm here.

Q. Obviously you started with a reserve and end up playing here and now you're top 10. Can you explain that?

ANA BELAC: Yeah, that's also like my first top 10 of this year. I don't know if I'm going to stay in the top 10. Probably, maybe.

But, yeah, just I've been playing good golf this season. So it's really nice to actually see like a few rounds being like -- few good rounds strung together and have a good finish. I've always had one pretty off round that derailed my whole week.

I'm glad I kept it together for the most part other than yesterday.
