Q. How did the round go out there today?
NASA HATAOKA: Well, first off I'm sure everyone says this, it was quite windy this afternoon and so there were things that I was able to persevere and unfortunate things such as my score not being as high as it could have been.
But I was aiming to be at the top of the preliminaries, and I think I was able to achieve that goal.
Q. How would you say the course played today versus yesterday?
NASA HATAOKA: As I said, it was a lot windier today and it just felt as though the greens were a little harder, a little tougher.
Q. You're in the Top 5 on the leaderboard. How do you feel about your position and your game heading into the weekend?
NASA HATAOKA: Well, as I said, I tried my best, and even though I was able to achieve a higher par, you know, there are only four folks ahead of me and I want to play my game with those folks in mind, and I think I was able to achieve my expectations. So that's how I feel about it.
