Quick Quotes


Q. Here with Andrea Lee, pair of 67s to kick off the week here in Arkansas. Coming off a win last week and in contention again. What's working out here?

ANDREA LEE: Yeah, I mean, game feels really solid. I honestly feel really fatigued. I kept telling Drew, I'm tired, I'm tired. I just got to push through one more round tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm only I guess four shots back, so you never know what can happen tomorrow. There is a lot birdies to be had out here, so we'll see what happens.

Q. What's changed in your game the past few weeks? Obviously been playing well all season. Something seems to be clicking out there. What is that?

ANDREA LEE: Just staying really consistent, hitting a lot of greens, and giving my a lot chances for birdie. I'm not going to make everything obviously, but it kind of takes the stress off I need to make birdies here, because I'm just hitting a lot the greens and fairways.

Yeah, putting has been really solid. I've been making at least four or five birdies a round, and I think that's definitely improved the scoring. So, yeah, just trying to keep that up.

Q. Did you think being tired kind of helps you keep the expectations low, and like if something goes awry, you kind of have something to blame it on maybe?

ANDREA LEE: I think so. I hit a couple squirrelly shots out there today. Just staying really patient as I have been all year, playing good golf, and put two solid rounds together.

Just looking for one to finish it off tomorrow.

Q. Finally, speaking of tomorrow, I know with soft greens a lot of people are going to try to attack. I know you're a player that likes to take it one shot at a time and stay patient. Having that freedom to attack, will that change your mindset heading into tomorrow?

ANDREA LEE: A little bit. I guess it depends on where the pins are. Every hole -- the ones that are tucked I usually like to play safe, in the middle of the green, just two-putt and get out of there.

The par-5s and pins that are attackable I'll definitely go for tomorrow and we'll see how low I can go.
