Q. All right, here with Paula Reto after her third round of the AmazingCre Portland Classic. No bogeys on the card today, which is always good to go bogey-free. What have you learned about the course these past few days that sort of helped you limit those mistakes today?
PAULA RETO: Yeah, just knowing where to miss on correct side if you do end up -- if the pin is on the left I try and go a little bit more right. If the pin is opposite, I try to go to the other side just because everything is a little bit more firmer with the chips and you need a little bit more room to run the ball out.
So just small things like that.
And then the greens are always good in the morning, so a lot more putts can be made.
Q. Putting obviously is a strong suit for you. Can you walk us through how your putting was this round just overall, what you're looking at?
PAULA RETO: Yeah, so my putter was pretty good the first nine; made a couple good ones.
The second nine sort of slowed down; a little bit of speed issues with my lines.
But I'm just going to keep working on it and hopefully tomorrow more will drop.
Q. How important is it to just take advantage of Moving Day, and I wonder how you get in like the mindset to do that?
PAULA RETO: Yeah, you know, I try not to really think about that. I just try to play it as another day. Not many of the boxes were moved up today, so didn't necessarily play shorter for you to reach many more holes in two for like the par-5s.
But, yeah, just giving yourself opportunities I feel like for me today was key. Just sort of make putts, see lines, that kind of thing. So I don't think about it too much.
Q. Got you. How is your course management would you say and your ability to just find those birdies out there?
PAULA RETO: Well, so BB does a good job, my caddie, with helping me, and he knows my shot shape. So we'll really try to eliminate like a left pin because I know I'll sometimes pull it.
So just knowing those things and giving myself a putt, you know, we're happy with anything from 15 to 20 feet. We roll it in, cool. And that gives you confidence if you do.
If you hit a couple short ones close, kind of take advantage of those. I wish I did on the back nine. I had a few short birdie putts that just didn't go in.
Yeah, and then it's nice because you know how the ball is going to react, especially on the chip. So few times I missed the green, okay, if I land it here it's going to roll out.
So that prediction makes it a lot easier and course management then kind of works out.
Q. What's the game plan for tomorrow?
PAULA RETO: You know, just giving myself more opportunities. Same thing, good opportunities and just see my line and trust it. You know, I was a little bit tentative, but I need to make sure to get the ball to the hole and don't leave them short.
