Quick Quotes


Q. All right, nothing like staying cool, calm, and collected on moving day there move up the leaderboard. How are feeling after day three?

LEXI THOMPSON: I feel pretty good. I played well overall this whole round. Had one bad tee shot on the final hole which set me up -- I still had a par putt, but put me out of position.

I hit it great all day and made a few good putts, so overall just going to try to take that into tomorrow.

Q. Also, being able to stay consistent out there, you did have some birdies and the eagle. Take us through the eagle there.

LEXI THOMPSON: They moved the tee up about 100 yards for us so I had driver pitching wedge and hit it to about five feet and made it.

Q. Awesome. With you coming back to Hawaii, what do you like most about getting used to Kapolei Golf Club this week?

LEXI THOMPSON: It's my first time playing here. I know they played it previous years here, but I just love Hawaii. I mean, I don't get to go to the beach as much as I would like to when I'm here, but it is what it is.

Golf course is in great shape for us and it's just beautiful to be out here.

Q. Definitely some gettable conditions. Was it more gettable today because of that than the last two days, especially with the wind swirling at different points?

LEXI THOMPSON: Yeah, it's less windy today, but they moved four tees up, so you have to birdie, and if not, eagle. So you definitely have to go low.

Q. What's the mindset heading into the final day tomorrow?

LEXI THOMPSON: Well, I have to go as low as I can because I'm going to be quite a few back. I'm going to play aggressive and hope for the best and make as many birdies as I can.
