After the game, Sui Xiang said that she tried to restrain herself today, and did not go to see the results in the leading table when she left in the afternoon. She knows her club count, but she doesn't know she's ahead.
"It's always been a challenge for me to focus on my ball. When I can focus on my ball, I usually play a good number of strokes," Sui said, "It's easier said than done. For me, this is a long-term issue, but tomorrow I will face this challenge head-on. ”
Youngster Cao Xinyu's golf career began at the age of 9, she has been touring the women's middle school for several years, and today she has three birdies from within 120 yards to attack the green, 5 feet on the third and seventh holes, and 10 feet on the 10th hole.
"Today's kick-off was as good as yesterday, more consistent and no points conceded. The putting performance is also very good, there are a few holes, save the pab and Paulge, I did very well," Cao said, "Over the past period, I have practiced a lot of different types of play, and I now have more options in my play, including tapping the green, and saving the ball on the green side, without the instability I used to have." Tomorrow, like today, be yourself, be calm, and don't be too radical. ”
