Q. Okay, Megan Khang, after another 66 third round here at the Portland Classic. I mean, three 66s in a row. Can you just speak on what this course is doing for you, what you're doing our on this course to make so many birdies?
MEGAN KHANG: Honestly, I have always loved coming to Portland, and kind of riding the high of last week. It's been kind of some good, solid golf, and just kind of trying to keep that momentum going for as long as I can.
Overall, I mean, ball striking has been really solid. I think with the greens still being kind of soft it's something that I'm trying to take advantage of, as I'm sure other players are. I saw a 10-under today, so it's definitely out there.
You know, it's no guarantee tomorrow what's going to happen, so a lot of great players behind me. Just going to try to stay in my own little world.
Q. Last week you held the 54-hole lead. Now you're holding it again this week. What did you maybe learn from last week that you hope to take into tomorrow to repeat your win?
MEGAN KHANG: For me, you know, this is something that I've kind of tried to reiterate to myself ever since I was a young girl. My dad always told me that you can only control what you can control. Don't really get too preoccupied with what everyone else is doing.
At the end of the day you can't control what they're doing, so just stay in your own little world, do your own little thing, and try your best to take care of every little thing that you can make better for yourself instead of stress me out about what other people are doing.
Again, you know, there is only so much you can do, and hopefully it's good enough. Some days it is; some days it's not. It's just golf. Kind of is life.
Q. Yeah. Take me through some of the key birdies out there today for you. Any that particularly stand out in your mind?
MEGAN KHANG: I want to say like the last one definitely meant a lot because I knew that was to get me to 6-under.
Overall I had such a good feeling with my putter today. Was such a solid stroke. I missed a few shorter ones coming -- sorry, I missed a few shorter ones at the beginning of my round, and they were lipping out and I was just kind of getting a little frustrated.
But honestly, on the back nine I had a couple lip in and I was like, wow, I thought I missed it for sure and I got very fortunate to get the opposite and have it lip in.
So for me, it's just kind of like I was really happy the way I was stroking it today and I'm really hoping I can carry that into tomorrow.
Q. Last question: Playing with Ronni, major champion, really great player. How much did you enjoy the round today? Looked like you guys had a lot of fun.
MEGAN KHANG: Yeah, ton of fun. Ronni is like a very talented young girl, major winner. You know, we kind of were feeding off each other I felt like out there. We exchanged birdies. Kind of had some fun.
She made a wicked good par save on 15. Like I just made my birdie and I was like, honestly, I want to see Ronni make this par putt. She poured it in. I was joking with her, oh, you walked it in.
Just funny stuff like that. She smashes the ball, and so I outdrove her on hole 3 by like five yards, and I was like flexing on her.
Then she ended up birdieing the hole and I par'd. And I was like, wow, it really is drive for show, putt for dough.
But just stuff like that. You know, it's really nice to have like a light Saturday round in such a high, tense environment.
