Question: We’ve witnessed many great par saves. What was going through your mind during the round?

Nasa: As Moving Saturday… Actually Moving Friday, I was expecting the course setup to be much easier than what it actually was today. We saw some tough pin locations out there.

Within the process, it was great that I was able to shoot 4 under today.

Question” Olympics has been a huge goal of yours.
