Q. Okay, here with Yahui Zhang after her third round here in Mexico. This was your best round of the week. What was the key or different today than the past couple days?
YAHUI ZHANG: I mean, today they moving the tee forward at 2 hole, and I think that prove me a lot. And also, yesterday I saw the report that how Jenny Bae, how Miranda Wang plays good, and they told us how they play good, the strategy, how they did do.
So I was like, okay, I will try to learn how to play like them. Today it work. It work.
Q. What did you do? What did you see that Jenny Bae did so well that you wanted to do for yourself today?
YAHUI ZHANG: I mean, today I just want save all the par. There are some holes really difficult but some hole really close so we have chance to play the birdie, so I was like, if the hole is really difficult, then I thought I just keep on the fairway, keep on the green, no matter how far, I just play the par.
If I got the par-5 or really close par-4, I'm just really trying to do my best play my birdie.
Q. Is this the sort of course you can go out and be aggressive or do you have to tone it back?
YAHUI ZHANG: It's depend which hole you play. Some hole you have to play really aggressive. Like 18, hole No. 18 or hole No. 5, the par-5.
Just the hole No. 16 you can't be so aggressive. You just going to put your ball safe, and the second shot put beside the green and chip it to the hole, kind of like that.
Q. You had, what, five, birdies today?
YAHUI ZHANG: Five birdie.
Q. What was the best one? What was the best birdie out there?
YAHUI ZHANG: I think all my birdies good. I like them. (Laughter.) Yeah.
Q. Just one bogey. Is it difficult to avoid bogeys out here? What do you do when you make a bogey?
YAHUI ZHANG: I think when I play the bogey I got 1-under at that time, so I was pretty nervous. I think this course just you got to calm down and just seeing what you're going to do, how to make the birdie, next hole, just kind of like that.
Q. Only a few strokes back of the lead now. What are you going to do tomorrow to replicate today and have a win at the end of the day?
YAHUI ZHANG: I mean, I wish I don't think too much and just play like today. Today I think the strategy a pretty good and my chip is really good. Maybe after finish today I just go back and practice a little that maybe today is not that good club and practice my putt a little bit.
I just do myself, play my best tomorrow.
