Q. 8-under overall. How are you feeling after moving day?
HYE-JIN CHOI: Overall I'm satisfied with how I played today, and then putting was on, so I like how I played today.
Q. Do you think your putting was kind of the best part of the day? What were some of the most memorable putts out there for you?
HYE-JIN CHOI: Yesterday the putting was a little on and off, so I changed my grip this morning, and then it kind of worked, so I'm going to try tomorrow again.
Q. What grip did you go from, and then what did you change to?
HYE-JIN CHOI: It doesn't look a lot different, but how I feel is a little different, and it worked well.
Q. You had a wonderful performance at the U.S. Women's Open when you are just an amateur. I'm wondering how that changed your life that week, if it did.
HYE-JIN CHOI: I learned a lot from that tournament, and then as a pro, it changed a lot for the Tour ambition.
Q. Did you think after that experience that winning a major might be easier than it really is?
HYE-JIN CHOI: I don't think the major is easy thing, but I've been through the U.S. Open like a couple years ago, so I'm trying to more focus at the major events.
Q. That's your main priority, winning a major?
HYE-JIN CHOI: Yeah, I want to -- yeah, basically.
Q. How have you changed as a player since losing that 54-hole lead in 2017 at the U.S. Women's Open?
HYE-JIN CHOI: Well, that was an unforgettable memory for me, and I learned a lot. Because of that memory I won many tournaments on the KLPGA, and I learned a lot from that, also.
Q. How have you used that experience to now consistently contend in majors with your two top-5 finishes last year and again in contention here now?
HYE-JIN CHOI: With the good memory with the major event, I get more confident when I play majors. I wasn't sure about my playing previous, like right before this tournament, and I've got the confidence right now.
Q. What were you worried about with your play before this week?
HYE-JIN CHOI: The swing wasn't working. That's what I thought. And then right now, the swing is working, and the putting is also working. Everything is going well.
Q. Were there any technical changes you made to your swing?
HYE-JIN CHOI: I just changed a little thing, just address position, and then being more focused on the balance changes, and that's how I changed my swing.
Q. You've been in contention a numerous amount of times in your Tour career. Do you still feel those jitters or nerves of what tomorrow could bring?
HYE-JIN CHOI: I'm not really nervous anymore, but just try to stay focused for tomorrow and get ready.
Q. If you win, will you jump?
HYE-JIN CHOI: I hope so.
