Quick Quotes


Q. You finished birdie-birdie-birdie. Could you walk me through that sequence?

MIKINO KUBO: I wanted to birdie at least once today, and towards the end I was like, I really want to birdie. So I got to the 16th hole and I was feeling good. I wanted another one. Then kind of just fell into place, and the momentum was really there for that one.

Q. Were you hitting the ball really close to the hole, or did you have really good putting to get it in for birdie?

MIKINO KUBO: I put it right by the pin. The shots were really good.

Q. Could you talk about the greens after being rained on, how they were in the middle of the day today and how they might have compared to yesterday when they were a little drier?

MIKINO KUBO: Yesterday with the rain delay and the suspension, I felt like it was getting heavy, and then today it was definitely heavier, and I felt my putts were a little bit short. But towards the end I got the feel for the greens. But it was definitely heavier today.

Q. By heavier you mean slower?

MIKINO KUBO: Slower.

Q. Obviously three-hour rain delay in the middle of the round, once you'd already gone out. What did you do during that time?

MIKINO KUBO: During the delay she was actually up in the locker room, and her and Annika were playing table tennis, ping-pong.

Q. Who won?

MIKINO KUBO: One of my friends who's also playing today, she challenged her and she ended up winning, but they were having fun, hanging out, and just friendly competition up there.

Q. How do you prepare for tomorrow or what's your mentality going into tomorrow?

MIKINO KUBO: Just really finish strong and kind of going back home to Japan just feeling good and overall just doing well tomorrow.
