Q. All right, here with Gaby Ruffels after her second round here in Mexico. Two solid rounds. Near the top of the leaderboard. How are you feeling after two days in Mexico?
GABRIELA RUFFELS: Yeah, feeling good. Today was a bit tougher I thought. I bogeyed the first two holes so didn't get off to the greatest start, and then was kind of here the cut line really.
But I was happy how I kind of stayed in it mentally and was able to finish really strong with three birdies.
Q. Just take me through the birdies. How did you kick off that birdie train at the end?
GABRIELA RUFFELS: I made a good birdie on 14 after bogeying 13, the par-5, and then birdied 16, 17, 18. Just holed some really long putts.
16 was pretty lucky I think. I think it hit the pin pretty hard. I think that was going a little bit past the hole, but I will take it.
Yeah, made a good putt on 17 and hit it pretty tight on 18 to finish.
Q. What are some of the keys you're finding on this golf course to be successful here?
GABRIELA RUFFELS: I feel like the green complexes are not that different. It's the wind that's the defense of the golf course.
So just controlling your golf ball. Fairways out here are tight; keeping it out of the kind of rough and trees. But, yeah, and just kind of capitalizing on your opportunities.
Q. What is the plan for moving day? What's sort of the strategy for tomorrow?
GABRIELA RUFFELS: Just keep it the same as what I've been doing. Yeah, I mean, just kind of I guess control what I can and see how I go.
Q. Obviously the heat plays a huge factor this week. How do you stay prepared for that and manage that? I know it makes you very tired.
GABRIELA RUFFELS: Yes, it does. Just getting sufficient rest. Taking a good rest this afternoon and staying out of the heat as much as I can, and, yeah, being ready to go for the weekend.
