Q. All right, I'm here with Wei-Ling Hsu after her third round at the JM Eagle LA Championship. Really good round. How important was today's round for you and just even shooting 3-under put you a long way?
WEI-LING HSU: It's been a while for me to having a round that I was 100% in it, I don't feel tons of pressure, and I can like fully confidence while I was walking down the fairway.
Definitely made a lot, a lot to me. I did really well on my iron today, so there is a bunch of shot that approaching the green worked out really well.
So just got me a lot of confidence from that.
Q. I was going to ask, what was it today that was just giving you so much confidence?
WEI-LING HSU: Yeah, yesterday, especially yesterday, Friday, cut day, and I mean, everyone is so tight. Like once you miss the shot you might able to miss the cut.
And so yesterday I just keep my focus on my iron and my driver I think. So I hit a lot of good shots so I was like, I love this feeling, so I was like, I'm going to take it into the weekend, which I did. I done even better than yesterday today, and so I think that really helps me out building up my confidence and once I see the difficult shot I was able to like commit to it.
Q. Seemed like a lot of the field this afternoon is struggling a bit.
WEI-LING HSU: Yes.
Q. What is it that makes this golf course so challenging today?
WEI-LING HSU: Well, this golf course, you know, is -- looks like kind of flat and kind of short golf course, but actually it's really, really challenge. Especially this afternoon. It's kind of windy, so you just need really to commit your shot and believe yourself that wind going to take it.
Of course the putting green this year is really, really hard so I just kept telling myself that stay patient and just do all the best if I can.
Q. You said your iron game was good today and I hear you had a couple of chip-ins.
WEI-LING HSU: Yes.
Q. Do you remember any of those? Can you tell us about them?
WEI-LING HSU: Yeah, like I say, the green is really hard, so there is a few shot I'm just barely off the green. There is a few, like No. 18 and 12 hole that I missed the green.
Yeah, like 18 I was doing very well on that chip-in. I just see it very well. And 17, actually I didn't hit chip very well on that one. I just drained it like 15-footer.
So yeah, just like I say, just stay patient. And like the putting green is really hard, so I just chip as much close to the pin as I can. Yeah, that's just my goal.
Q. Tomorrow if things stay the way they are you might go out in the afternoon.
WEI-LING HSU: Uh-huh.
Q. What sort of is going to be the strategy for tomorrow?
WEI-LING HSU: So even today I just start 3-under the front nine, so I start looking at the leaderboard, like see how many shot I was off, but I kept telling myself that, hey, the most important thing right now is just enjoy my golf and to enjoy this golf course and enjoy I was able to hit the good iron.
So I think I was just doing the same thing tomorrow. Don't think about too much because this is really challenge hole. Once you lost your focus you might lost shot, so, yeah.
