Q. And then finished with an eagle on 18. How is that to finish strong? How does it feel to finish strong?
AKIE IWAI: So when I coming tee box I wanted eagle. That's why, so... (Through translation.) I hit my drive exactly as I imagined it, as well as my second shot. I set up an eagle chance and since I was trying to make eagle I was really happy I was able to finish my round with one.
Q. And then last one: Does this give you confidence going into next week?
AKIE IWAI: Yeah. Yes, of course. Different course next week. That's why... (Through translation.) Obviously it's a different golf course next week, so I'm going to need different shots out there.
