SOUNDBITE: (English)

"Today was a little windy as we started. I feel like I could do most of my round today on the par fives. I feel very good today, so five under feels where at least I should be on a half decent day. And I feel like there's a couple of low ones out there. So, just really got to be patient and try and give yourself a lot of good looks."

SUPER CAPTION: Suzann Pettersen, 11 under par:

"No matter the score, if you make two eagles, still happy enough, so I'm really happy with it. Actually, at the beginning of the round it wasn't a really great start, but after a made an eagle my game was getting better and better. It was really good motivation."
