Q. This is your ninth U.S. Open. What does it mean to you to be playing --
PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Is it 10?
Q. Sorry about that. What does it mean to you to be playing a major here in Los Angeles in the Riviera?
PATTY TAVATANAKIT: It's nice. It's always good to come back to L.A. and play. I feel like it's very familiar here. It doesn't feel like a U.S. Open because maybe it's in L.A. So I guess that's good.
Q. And how is the course playing conditions-wise out there?
PATTY TAVATANAKIT: It was tough today with the wind. The greens firmed up a lot. Yeah, just got to be precise with everything, and I feel like my short game was pretty good to save all those pars and convert when I needed to.
Q. What's a major positive you're going to take away from today's round going into tomorrow?
PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Just keep the momentum going. I feel like we still have -- I still leave a lot out there in terms of stuff, but I scored really well. If anything, I just want to maybe hit my drives a little bit better tomorrow.
