Quick Quotes


Q. Here with Janet Lin. Another solid round. Good solid finish. Going to be T5 I think overall. Just walk me through your week and how impressed are you with that result?

XIYU LIN: I mean, yeah, this is one of the very solid week. I haven't have it in a long time. I mean, have two really good days and even the second round and today, even I didn't start it really well I stay patient and even both of the day I finish really strong, which I'm very proud of myself.

Especially today. Like I just didn't really have lots of chances, but I stay patient, stay calm, so last three holes it was good eagle and good birdie, yeah.

Q. Walk me through the eagle and the last as well.

XIYU LIN: Well, so I gave myself enough chances, but not like the really close ones. So I'm always having those 15-, 20-footer and I always missing it by a touch.

So I was a little angry about it, but then I just start like telling myself, it's going to happen. It's going to come.

So 16 I finally make like a 30-footer and then I know 17, 18 I have a good chance.

17 the drive didn't go as long as I expected so my 3-wood ran into the front right bunker. Then I just like, okay, let's just stay aggressive here with that pin. Then actually landed exactly where I want it, and then it just really nice to see it disappear.

I had a chip before, it was like an inch short, so, yeah.

Q. With only a few events left this year, how good are you feeling after a week like this?

XIYU LIN: I mean, it's definitely a really solid step. Yeah, like I just really like my strategy and then how I control myself, my mind whole week this week.

So I really learn a lot and I'm just looking forward to the rest of the season.
