Q. Patty, well done out there again today. Another really good round, 5-under par, 67. I am sure it's not the way you want to start with the bogey on the par-5 first hole. You bounced back with the birdie at No. 2. From our perspective the game appeared solid.
PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Yeah, it was a really solid day again today. I feel like putts were rolling in earlier during the round, which helped a lot. Got a little stalled on the back nine, but managed to score on the par-5s, which really happy about it.
Q. We saw a lot of birdies from the field in general, but there were also a lot of pins that were tucked near slopes and near false front. Did that make it trickier out there?
PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Yeah, I feel like I hit it solid all back nine, just leaving myself a really tough putt just because of the hole location. Overall, like my game fields solid. Putting strokes feel great. They are tough putts, so whoever makes it just earned there way into the leaderboard today.
Q. You played six excellent rounds in a row, including the win in Saudi last week. Professional golfers are always looking to improve something. Is it more of the same over the weekend for you, or is there something in particular you would like to sharpen up?
PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Yeah, a little bit here and there. I feel a little bit more fatigue coming off a strong play last week. Used a lot of the adrenaline back there. It's only Friday and it's really hot and my body fells like it needs a lot of rest, so I'm going to go ahead and do that. I am sure the golf will just take care of itself. I really like taking care of my body.
