SEI YOUNG KIM: A lot of birdies today. Yeah, especially I miss a lot yesterday, but finish strong good today. I play with Jenny and Yuka, my favorite players. We play even close each other, so yeah, I don't know, I'm waiting for the last group. We'll see.
Q. What was it about today that really made the difference for you?
SEI YOUNG KIM: I was like just focus on my target. Yeah, that's more focus, focus. And then when I no energy and even I tried to keep the focus, but the body is no listen. So I keep the eat and hydrate.
Yeah.
Q. And then you felt better?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, its listen.
Q. That first nine holes how comfortable were you feeling in your game?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Wasn't comfortable because I have to make the a lot of birdie because of the leaders, who is the leader. She knows this course and big advantage for her.
So, yeah, if I don't make a lot of birdies, no chance. So I just try to keep making birdie, birdie. Just only one thinking today.
Q. When you were coming up on the final holes, what did you dig from to be able to finish the way that you did?
SEI YOUNG KIM: I mean, I kind of a little bit -- not a little bit, little pressure so -- my tee shot little push it so that's why finish it.
But I play the recover. Recovery shot is really good. I make the par hole 17. It wasn't easy to make the par from the second shot. It's way right. The last hole, yeah, even I miss right and then layup and then, yeah, I make the like tap-in birdie from the 90 meters, third shot.
Q. What did it mean to see your name towards the top of the leaderboard all week?
SEI YOUNG KIM: It's good. It's good. I'm so looking forward next two tournament Asia, Singapore and China. I feel good, so, yeah.
Q. Is this the most confident you've felt about your game in a little bit or are there still things you're wanting to work on?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Still I need to work out because the last two weeks I was in Thailand with my coach. We work out a lot and especially short game and then we talking about the more mentally how do you handle it on the pressure.
Because last couple years even I had a chance, I couldn't make anything good happen. So that's -- I have to fix something, so that's why I came here early in the week. Yeah, working with the coach and the trainers, my dad, yeah.
