Quick Quotes


Q. All right, here with Haeran after her second round of The Chevron Championship. To start things off, you had a bogey-free round today. Talk a little bit about the golf you played out there.

HAERAN RYU: Yesterday I made same birdies, six birdies, but I have a lot of mistake yesterday, but today also I try to focusing my shots.

And today the pin position is really hard for me, but always I'm keeping more easier then tried to make some birdie.

But that is a good chance for me I think.

Q. Great playing today.

HAERAN RYU: Thank you.

Q. You struggled a bit on this golf course last year. What's been the difference this time around?

HAERAN RYU: I think more training for distance for my driver, and always -- last year my driver is more shorter than this year, and always I'm hit it the long iron shots and I can make some birdie chance.

This year the golf course is more firm and I try the driver and always I hit the short iron shot on the second shot. I think that's good for me I think. It's more easier.

Q. How much are you having to switch your trajectories with how firm the greens are this week?

HAERAN RYU: Today always I'm try to hit it uphill on the green and always want it to stop nearby the pin.

I think this is a good chance, good chance for make some birdie chance.

And then this week, two more days left right now, and still the same I think. (Laughter.)

Q. What was the biggest lesson you learned in your rookie season?

HAERAN RYU: Golf is so hard. (Laughter.)

But always I want to trying to enjoy my golf, but it's always so hard for me. But always mindset is golf not today, always I'm think about the future is good for me I think, yep.

Q. What's your impression of Nelly Korda and the streak she's on?

HAERAN RYU: Superstar. (Laughter.)

Nelly is always with the many galleries, and I think four in a row winning in the Tour right now. And then always I look- I don't have a chance for play with her, but always looking forward. Looks like superstar right now.

Q. You look forward to a chance to play with her?

HAERAN RYU: I want to.
