Q. Brilliant round Benedetta, in tough conditions. How about those four birdies on the bounce from the 10th.
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Yeah, it was really good. I told myself to commit to every shot today and I was trusting my feelings and I could see golf was going my way. It was pretty fun out there.
Q. Pretty tight, nervy drives out on the golf course. What do you say to yourself to keep yourself on the straight and narrow?
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Yeah, just tell myself to trust my feelings. I've been working hard last week and golf didn't go well my way the last two weeks on Tour, so I just try to stay calm and collected out there and today paid off for sure.
Q. You've had a good week so far in Malaysia. I think you've been doing a bit of sightseeing. Where have you been?
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Been to the Batu Caves and to the towers. I haven't gone up to the towers yet, but I'm planning to do it this week for sure.
Q. Got to go. It's a great sight from the very top. Your family are watching back home in Italy where you're from. And your sister is a great golfer as well.
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Yeah, she plays on the Epson Tour and she's been out there for like three years. We grew up playing together and she's been my rock, and I love her so much.
Q. Big hello to Angelica. Your family are watching at home, and I believe that Laudy (phonetic) and Jeremy are also watching. Who are you most excited about seeing?
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Both of them I got to say. I love seeing my dog for sure, but my boyfriend as well.
Q. We should just qualify Laudy is the Golden Retriever, Jeremy is the boyfriend.
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Yeah, that's right.
Q. Keys for tomorrow? How are you going continue this great play?
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Still keep trusting my feelings telling me the same things out there. I know it's going to be a new day, so new challenges. Try to embrace every shot and challenge and do my best out there.
Q. Great job today. Well played.
BENEDETTA MORESCO: Thank you very much. Thank you.
