Q. Charley, off to a blistering start this morning. Four birdies in the first six holes en route to that round of 66. What was behind the strong start?
CHARLEY HULL: I felt like I was hitting it quite well. Hit some good little shots in and holed some good putts, where yesterday I didn't hole a putt apart from one hole outside four feet. It was crazy.
So I got the ball rolling. Then I got a bit wind on the back nine. Made a bit of a mistake on the par-5, and then could have made some birdies coming in and just edged the holes. It was nice to close on a birdie.
Q. Definitely cooled a little bit there on the back. What was the biggest challenge on that second nine today?
CHARLEY HULL: The wind was very gusty out there. It was crazy. I had 150 yards into one of the par-5s on the back nine with my third shot, and it was just because it was meant it open left and turned into and it was just gusting.
It was just kind of figuring out where that wind was and being patient.
Q. You're just a few back currently going into the final round. What do you think it will take to give yourself a chance here tomorrow?
CHARLEY HULL: Just got to keep it going and hitting it close and holing the putts. It's a very scorable golf course, especially when there is no wind. So, yeah, just making some birdies. The greens are soft as well, so I reckon there will be some low rounds tomorrow.
