Q. The weather has been so crazy the past two days. How does the sun being out change your game today?
HINAKO SHIBUNO: There is windy, but it was not as windy as I anticipated. However, the pin position was very difficult, so I felt very difficult today.
Q. Being the runner-up at the 2024 U.S. Open, do you think that gives you an advantage for the final day?
HINAKO SHIBUNO: Maybe my advantage a just as little as one millimeter, so that would be very nervous from the -- probably I'll be very nervous from the beginning to the end.
So I might not be able to take advantage being runner-up last year.
Q. Okay. And then last one: What are you going to do tonight prepare for tomorrow?
HINAKO SHIBUNO: Well, what will I do? I will eat and sleep and eat. (Laughter.)
I don't think I'll do anything different.
