Quick Quotes


Q. Here with Ssu-Chia Cheng after her third round at the Dana Open. What was working so well for you today? 11-under over the course of the week. Just what's this week been like for you?

SSU-CHIA CHENG: Yeah, it's a good week. Just happy to be back here in Toledo. I like the course. I think it just kind of sets up good for me.

And then today I was just -- or these few days I just stay patient out there. I didn't really have the best start like today or even just like the past two days. I just kind of stayed patient out there and just one shot at a time.

Trying to be positive and have fun out there.

Q. Specifically today was there anything that maybe clicked for you as you made the turn? You had the two birdies and bogey on the front, but then to do four on the back, was there anything different from your front nine to your back nine?

SSU-CHIA CHENG: Nothing really. Just trying to stay, like I said, stay positive pretty much the whole time. Kind of just waiting for the opportunity, you know. Just trying to hit good shots out there and then trying to be like I said, like put some good stroke and good swing on it.

But I think the back -- it's kind of funny because I was kind of struggling off the tee a few holes in the back and hitting it left and right in the rough. But I made a good like -- that one hole I was on the right rough and just make a comeback and make a birdie from there.

So just trusting myself out there and just be the best I can, yeah.

Q. You mentioned it at the beginning, excited to be back here in Toledo. What is it about Toledo or the course or the event itself that brings the excitement when you come?

SSU-CHIA CHENG: Just I think I like the course. I had few years back pretty good look going in Sunday and then unfortunately because the weather -- I was third, so third at one point, but because of the weather they cancel the final round.

I just have some good memories in here. And then just like the people here. It's always good to be in the Midwest.

And then like I said, the course, it's in great shape. So, yeah, I like it here.

Q. Luckily we will hopefully not have in I weather tomorrow.

SSU-CHIA CHENG: Right.

Q. In prime position towards the top. What's the mindset heading into tomorrow and what do you think it's going to take to get at that win?

SSU-CHIA CHENG: Just trying to keep it simple out there. Pretty much what I did the past three days. Trying to do the same thinking out there.

I'm not trying to think about too much. Just going to go out there and have some fun and hit some good shots and just do the best I can.
