Quick Quotes


Q. Okay, Jasmine, tell me some of the highlights of your third round today.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I would say making birdie on 17 today. I've been telling myself this is the key on this week, is making birdie on a par-5 because they're not that long, but little tricky, so I did make birdie on 17 today.

And other than that, today I didn't really make much mistake so there is some birdie chance and a lot of them are drop today.

Q. I know you were bogey-free today. What did you do to limit any of those mistakes?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I think I have a really good short game and putts been working this week, and I don't really have any mistake. Might hit a little short couple holes, but I manage to hit it like three foot for par which is pretty smooth and easy.

Q. What is the key to making a lot of birdies out here?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I would say the par-5 is the key this week. I think everybody can pretty much reach the par-5 this week, and you have to be really good with short game to make sure you birdie on the par-5, and the rest just give yourself opportunity for make birdies and hopefully it drops.

Q. What it about this course that makes it so scorable? Seems like there are really low rounds today.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I would say the greens are pretty smooth and the greens roll really good this week. Pretty sure a lot of people, the good putter out here, makes a lot of birdie this week.

Q. Last question: What sort of round do you want to put together tomorrow to end up at the top?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I would say, you know, my target, my basic target today was at least 4-under. I think 4-under will not really lose so much position.

I did play 6-under today, but I think to be winner I'm not sure what's the leader right now, but basically 8-under tomorrow will be pretty sweet.
