Quick Quotes


Q. Here with Miranda Wang after her second round here in Mexico. Really good round. First bogey-free round we've seen, and 7-under. What did you do to have such an incredible round today?

MIRANDA WANG: Yeah, today I had a good day on the golf course. Yesterday my driver wasn't hitting really good so I spend a little time on driving range yesterday, so today it's -- I found my swing on the tee box, and on the fairway I was hitting really good.

Q. What is the key to being successful on this course? What about this course do you have to do well?

MIRANDA WANG: I think this course, there are good opportunities out there, short par-4s and short par-5s. Today what I did well I really took the chances.

So I think for a player to have a good round here it's just like the short holes you have to get close and make birdies and the long hole, just make good swings and pars out there.

Q. And you've had a pretty solid rookie season. I think this is your best round this year, though. Did you feel like this was your best round, or do you feel like you've had a lot of solid rounds this year?

MIRANDA WANG: I think I've had a 7-under before, so this is my second 65. As you said, it's a pretty solid beginning for me on the LPGA.

I'm happy with that.

Q. What's been the key to maybe staying on top of the heat? I know the heat plays a big factor this week. How have you prepared for that and stayed steady?

MIRANDA WANG: So I really -- I was really drinking a lot of water, and my caddie did a good job just feeding me water all the time. I think that's the most important.

And just like it's windy out there so there is some good breeze. Just enjoy the breeze and drink enough water.

Q. You're tied for the lead right now, but still a lot of golf to play today. Heading into tomorrow so high on the leaderboard, what does that mean to you to see?

MIRANDA WANG: I'm definitely happy with where I am right now. But it's just only halfway through. I want to hit every shot, all do my best on every shot coming up.

Q. Are what are some of the goals for moving day tomorrow? Anything specific?

MIRANDA WANG: I would liked to what I did today. Take some more effort to stay focused and stay focused on my own game and just play my best in my every shot.
