Quick Quotes


Q. Here with Jenny Shin; bogey-free 68. It was I know a long morning of waiting, but overall, a pretty good round for you today?

JENNY SHIN: Yeah. Left quite a few out there so a little bit disappointing, but most of it was a battle with the flies for me. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's my visor, my hair, I don't know.

But they're coming straight for my eyes, so I was like -- I was struggling out there.

Q. The flies are liking you this week, huh?

JENNY SHIN: Yeah.

Q. You seemed to bat them away well enough. Bogey-free day. I understand you left some out there, but tell us overall about the round; a lot of birdies out there.

JENNY SHIN: You know, surprisingly I am hitting it pretty good. Beginning of this week I was a little bit lost, and then I decided maybe I shouldn't hit any balls. I didn't practice a little all this week. Just kind of went with my feel, and I think that's what's been helping me this week so far.

And, you know, not three-putting, because the greens here are pretty undulating. But the fact that I'm getting it pretty closer to the hole, you know, not giving myself too many opportunities to do that, but more for birdies, so that's been what's working for me.

Q. Do you mind saying what you mean by lost?

JENNY SHIN: Just I had too many thoughts running through my head. Last week I was in a really good place, and then with six holes to go I kind of, you know, lost my way and ended up not making the cut, which is a really -- you know, it wasn't a good feeling, especially playing well the two weeks before.

So lost is lack of a better definition I guess. I don't know.

Q. That's fine. But you seem to have found it; two solid rounds this week; safely in contention heading into the weekend. Did you think maybe just putting stuff aside and playing golf helped?

JENNY SHIN: Yeah, absolutely. Just getting in touch with my feel a little bit more and less technical, less analyzing, assessing, so. I'm going to keep doing that next two days.
