Q. Minjee Lee, a 68 today. I know you've been back and forth all sides of the world right now. No matter what, that was a good round of golf. Tell us the story of that round.
MINJEE LEE: Pretty solid today. I mean, I made three birdies on the back nine, which was my front nine, and then just pretty steady on the back nine.
I just had one birdie and one bogey. Finished with 3-under and pretty solid today.
Q. Played solid last week at Hana Bank. Made it into the playoff. Do you have any idea what time zone you're in right now?
MINJEE LEE: Actually hasn't been too bad. I'm just a little bit tired from just it being so hilly last week.
But other than that, I feel okay. So far so good.
Q. Exactly. So far so good. Just a couple strokes off the lead heading into the weekend. We've been hearing great things about this course. What are your thoughts about it? It's major caliber out there.
MINJEE LEE: Yeah, it's in great condition. The putting green is really, really nice. Just the whole golf course, I think there is a mix of hard holes and a little easier holes.
So it just challenges every aspect of your game. I think that's what makes it such a great golf course.
Q. Are you a student of good architecture? In Australia there is a lot of really good architecture.
MINJEE LEE: I played a lot in Melbourne so a lot of the golf course I played, you know, really great bunkering. Maybe not the longest of courses, but I definitely do like a good architectural golf course.
Q. So you appreciate a place like this that Ross did 100 years ago and how it holds up?
MINJEE LEE: I think so. I think just the way the golf course sets up and the way you have to think around just how to play each shot and how to play the golf course, I think that's what we come and play for. I mean, great golf courses is just a treat for us.
Q. You've been on quite a run even before Evian. How do you continue to keep that momentum going?
MINJEE LEE: I think when I'm on the golf course I just try to stay really patient and just, like I say all the time, just one shot at a time, but it's actually true. I take every shot at a time.
I think that pretty much keeps me in the moment all the time. So I just try not get ahead of myself and just be present.
Q. When you do get ahead of yourself, what do those thoughts look like?
MINJEE LEE: You know, on the golf course I don't really have too many thoughts. I just think it becomes too routine. I'm not as sharp on the decisions that I make. Probably just the execution of how I hit it.
So that's probably what I do when I get a little, you know, up in the clouds.
