Quick Quotes


Q. All right, I'm here with Nelly after her third round. Pretty quiet day. Few birdies coming down the stretch. How did it feel, especially with the conditions today?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, gosh, it was brutal. Played like a completely different golf course. I think the wind started picking up at noon and just got progressively windier and windier as the day went on.

It's very open out here, so the ball gets hit really hard with this weather. Happy to get in at 3-under. Wish I could have capitalized a little bit more on 18, but hopefully can do that tomorrow?

Q. Was the wind affecting you all day?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, it was pretty heavy from the -- like it got really heavy around 4:00 or 5:00, but it was pretty heavy from the start when I was even on the green.

Q. Did it remind you at all of the conditions last week?

NELLY KORDA: No, not really. Just, I mean, it was much colder last week so the ball wasn't flying as far. Here, like you're just adjusting kind of to the wind, but it was still flying far because it was still warm out. Also it's dry so it also flies far.

And then so I would say it's very different compared to last week. Last week was more of like a moist, cold wind versus this one.
