Quick Quotes


Q. Overall what was working so well?

RUONING YIN: I think like I said yesterday, last week my driver and my approach shots, not quite me. So I think I'm just getting my game back this week. Especially today, my drive and my approach shot and my ball-striking is pretty solid.

Q. We've seen a lot of people go low, especially in the final round of a day like this. What was the set and game plan knowing that anything was possible out there?

RUONING YIN: I mean, today I didn't think about the score. I just tried to keep it simple, like one shot at a time and I just keep hitting my game and obviously Hyo Joo had a great round today. I just really enjoy to play with her. We both go low today, so I think that's pretty exciting.

Q. A lot of birdies on the card. When did it start to click for you?

RUONING YIN: I think it was probably after -- after first hole. Because I'm really confident and in my approach shot, and I know I can get it close, but I just need to keep my putter up. I did it in the back nine I think.

Q. When you're playing with someone like Hyo Joo who, is also firing on all cylinders, does that help or are you one to stay in your own golf or does that motivate you to match her birdies?

RUONING YIN: Yeah, definitely because her putting is phenomenal. I think obviously I don't want to lose so I just keep catching up and I try to make more birdies.

Q. Feels like you really are starting to like it out here on the links, overall what was the experience like for you, another top finish?

RUONING YIN: I think I just tried to play with the wind and don't try to go against it. That's the big thing I've learned.

Q. What do you take away from this week going into the major next week? I know it's obviously a different course, not exactly the same linksy style, but just the momentum that you hope to carry on from this week?

RUONING YIN: I think like I said, my ball-striking, my game is getting back, and obviously this week, just gave me a lot of confidence heading to the next week, so I'm looking forward to it.
