Q. Here with Georgia Hall. Just wrapped up a 1-under 71 today. Another steady solid round for you. I saw you just went out and grinded out on the putting green. What's going through your mind as you walk off the golf course today?
GEORGIA HALL: I missed a lot of seven-, eight-footers today, maybe five. Really could have been a decent round, but a very average round I think today.
Pins weren't too tricky. And, I mean, it was windy, but I think a little bit less than yesterday so I wanted to take advantage of it more, but only one back going into tomorrow, so hopefully the putts will drop then.
Q. Like you said, you're only one back. You'll be playing in the final group on the last day. Again. What's gotten into you this year? I'll just be blunt. You're playing out of your mind. Even an average round for you is better than average for most. What has been the key to all this success you've had so far?
GEORGIA HALL: I think it's just like the last year or two have of just hard work and consistent. You know, didn't happen overnight. I think that's what a lot of players know, and especially me. I've been working harder than normal the past year, especially on my game and my clubs.
It's just like paying off now. Just got to stay patient out there. My mentality on the golf course is my strongest part of me as a player, my strongest part of my game. I just want to keep that going.
Q. Playing in the final group with Yu Jin and Grace, a sponsor invite, a rookie. Do you think it might be an opportunity for your veteran knowledge to come out and help?
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah. I mean, I've never been called a veteran at 27 just.
I have heard she's a very good player and very nice girl. I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun out there. I think it's a great experience for her to be in the final group on the final day, final round, because it is different. It's not just like a normal round. There is a lot of people watching. Obviously you guys, TV camera crews. So it would be a great experience for her nonetheless.
Q. What would it mean to you? You've been close a lot this year. I don't want to jump too far, but what would it mean to come out on top tomorrow?
GEORGIA HALL: I hope it's third time lucky, right? We'll see what happens. I'll just give it my best like every event this year. Obviously mean the world to me to get my first one of 2023.
Q. Last question: You mentioned as we were walking up here how much you love Hawai'i. How have you been spending your week here? When you're here, yeah, you're here to work. But it's also a lot of fun.
GEORGIA HALL: Yeah, it's so pretty here. I would love to come here on a holiday. A lot of people should. The coves are just so pretty. Still water on the beach. It's so peaceful.
I've been going there a couple of evenings just to relax and take my mind off golf. Yeah, I've definitely had like a lot of fun this week and not ready to leave.
