Quick Quotes


Q. Nice playing today. Back to 7-under. Did you stand on the tee feeling any different now that you're 32 this morning?

SHANSHAN FENG: No, I'm only like one day older so I didn't feel a lot different. I had a mindset like I knew that we would have to try to go low and I would say today like some of the pin positions were not very easy to attack, so I didn't give myself too many birdie chances in the middle there. The double on 11 that was a little bit unlucky. But it was still okay. I was still bogey-free round, just had a double (laughing).

Q. Talk about the eagle at No. 6.

SHANSHAN FENG: Yeah, I mean it was, they moved the tee up again own that par four so it became a short par-4 and I just hit like a little controlled driver and then I hit it to three feet, I believe. And that was my actually my first eagle of the year. I made a lot of birdies but that's the first eagle. So I saved it for the best tournament.

Q. 7-under, looking at the leaderboard, long way from the lead, but not far from a medal position. Chances tomorrow do you think, opportunity? We saw it in the men's. A lot of people came from behind.

SHANSHAN FENG: Well 10-under, 8-under on the last day, that's what we saw. Well, I have to have to not look at the leaderboard like before Sunday we finish and so I actually don't really know like where I'm at, but, well, thank you for telling me. But I think it's the same thing, like this is the Olympics, like fourth or fifth it doesn't matter. Like if it's not top 3, it's no difference. And I believe that we have the best girls here in the world so everybody's going to try to go low tomorrow and somebody will. So hopefully that will be me.
