Q. Okay, here with Lee5 after her second round at The Standard Portland Classic. Just talk about today's round. 67; holding the clubhouse lead right now.
JEONGEUN LEE5: While warming up today, it was quite chilly so I thought to myself that I shouldn't overplay it today. In the beginning, I tried to safely make pars and that worked out well. If there were opportunities to make birdies, I wanted to make sure I did. With the start of my birdie, I had five straight birdies so I was able to finish my round enjoyably and comfortably.
Q. I think we just talked about it briefly, but I believe six birdies in eight holes in the middle of your round. What was going through your head then?
JEONGEUN LEE5: I wanted to make as many chances to birdie. Starting on hole 5, it was a par 5, so it seemed there was more of an opportunity to birdie, so I tried to focus on that. With the start of that birdie, I think I was able to have that momentum and great energy to continue making birdies until hole 9. In the second half, I had a mistake on my tee shot at hole 10, but I was able to save par and I think I was able to end my round well overall.
Q. You only had 25 putts out there. A lot of one putts.
JEONGEUN LEE5: I didn't count.
Q. Front nine you had about two two-putts and the rest were one-putts. What can you say about your putting and maybe the greens out here?
JEONGEUN LEE5: The greens are so good here so when I go on the green, I tried to focus on what I need to do and the lines I wanted to follow. Honestly, all my birdie chances were a short putt so I think that was the reason I was able to make those birdies and have a low putting stroke today.
Q. After the past two rounds what are you looking forward to most about the weekend after seeing how the course is playing?
JEONGEUN LEE5: I'm sure all of the players have the same or similar thoughts, but when we are playing well, we expect it to continue. So, I want to really concentrate and focus going into the weekend. The past two rounds I had great energy, good shots, and good putts, so I want to continue this throughout the weekend and hopefully have a great tournament.
