Q. All right, Hannah, I just want to talk a little bit about today's round. When you went into today, what was the mindset that you had?
HANNAH GREEN: I guess I knew that I had to shoot a low one to make the cut. I think at that time it must have just gone to a 1-under par, so obviously shooting 3-over I needed to shoot at least 4-under.
But I made a good putt on the second hole, and I never really like was thinking about posting numbers. I just wanted to make as many birdies as possible.
Yesterday I really struggled with nearly everything in my game, so today everything was much cleaner and tidier. I actually had my caddie, Nate, read a few putts. Just hearing him reaffirming my read really helped.
So holed a lot of good putts. I missed a putt on 17 for birdie, but obviously birdied 18, so that was nice.
Q. A 62 is still a 62. You had quite a run there in the middle of the round between 7 and 10. Is that where you really felt the momentum click for you, do you think?
HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, definitely. I holed a really good putt on 7, maybe like a 25-footer for birdie; and then the next hole like a six-footer; next hole a 12-Footer.
So just seeing those putts go in really just made the hole feel a lot bigger, and even the next couple pars that I made I still had good opportunities for birdie and those putts almost did drop as well.
So it was just nice to, yeah, feel a lot more confident on the greens.
Q. To go something like T124, when you see that and go into the top 10 right now and into contention, where does that rank among one of your second round moving days? Does it feel like moving day without it being moving day?
HANNAH GREEN: It does. Actually had a couple memories come up on my phone, and I guess one of them was three years ago winning Portland where I shot my personal best 9-under.
And then also another memory of 2020 KPMG where I shot 79 the first day and 66 the second day.
So I guess you could say it was kind of like that. So just to see that even though I had a bad Thursday, just being able to overcome it and completely forget about it, I think it was kind of nice to see those things on my phone just to remember that I can do it.
Yeah, it was a really good day.
Q. And 14 of 14 fairways hit today. Most of the players I feel like I've talked to over the last couple days, hitting the fairway is crucial on a course like this because once you're in the rough it's technically a lot more challenging, like any other course, but especially this one. When you're hitting those fairways and feeling all components of your game come together, how much does that help in a round like this?
HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I think that's what went wrong yesterday. I was not necessarily hitting it in the trees, but hit it into places I would get blocked out a little bit. I actually didn't realize I didn't miss a fairway today, but now that I think about it I remember hitting from the fairway, so that's nice.
Yeah, it's definitely nice when everything feels really easy, so I'm hoping I can continue this momentum for two more rounds.
Q. Yeah. What will you take from this round as you look ahead to the weekend here?
HANNAH GREEN: Yeah, I'm excited. I feel like I've been playing very consistent this year. I haven't missed cut this year, and I feel like at the start of the year I didn't have a -- some great results when I first game back, but I feel like I've been overall pretty consistent.
I've had a lot of like tied 30th place, so I'm really hoping that I can get back into winning tournaments, but also when I'm not playing my best being in the top 10.
So we'll see what tomorrow brings. I'm not really sure what the forecast is, but if I can produce another round like that tomorrow, that would be amazing.
