Q. Your lowest round ever here. How did it feel to put that together and what led to it?
MIN LEE: Actually I'm really happy about how I'm playing today, because as you say, it's my lowest round here. Well, last year I been -- I was home all year and training a lot, so this is a good result for me, especially for this tournament, because the past year I didn't do really well.
And then tried to play really smart today because there are some pin placements really tricky, so that was pretty good.
Q. Up back home in...
MIN LEE: Taiwan.
Q. Most of last year?
MIN LEE: Yes. So, yeah, I was here for 10 days and then they canceled the tournament and I decided to fly back, and then just didn't come back until this year.
Q. What event was it that you were at when they canceled?
MIN LEE: That was before Phoenix.
Q. Oh, okay. So you were here and then that canceled and then you just...
MIN LEE: Yes.
Q. So first event back this year was...
MIN LEE: Hawaii.
Q. Did you do any Symetra events?
MIN LEE: Oh, yes. I play last weak in Utah. I mean, last week it was a great like warmup for me for this tournament just because you come out to the tournament and didn't play for two weeks and then you have to get used to the feel of playing in a tournament, especially LPGA.
So it's great that I get a chance to play last week and then drive up to here.
Q. I would imagine a reshuffle, having a reshuffle back in play is in your mind a little bit this week and a having good finish so you can jump up in the priority list group.
MIN LEE: Yeah, definitely because this is the last tournament for the reshuffle, and then because with my current status it's like in the borderline, sometimes it's in, sometimes you're not, so I'll try to do my best to get back on it, to jump forward.
Q. When you have a morning tee time to an afternoon tee time when you can have a good start, how do you go about the rest of today, early tomorrow, just to kind of maybe mentally visualize and maintain that momentum?
MIN LEE: I think just keep doing what my daily routine is and take whatever tee time we have and don't really complaining about, Oh, I have an early tee time. It's always good to have early tee time because you have fresh greens and the whole golf course is fresh and you're playing fast. Just nothing to complain about it.
So I think I'm just going to chill -- go hit a few balls more and putt a few to feel it again, and then chill out in the afternoon.
Q. How did you like the course? I feel like if you can -- if you played it several times before and you can find a low score after several appearances here, you kind of get it in your eye a little bit.
MIN LEE: Definitely, because there are some holes right here, especially today the pin placement, you're not really going for it. If you don't know the course that well then it's very easy to make mistake, so it's nice to know the course.
