Quick Quotes


Q. All right, here with Jiwon after her third round here at the Buick LPGA Shanghai. Just take us through the hole-in-one obviously. Second of your season and career.

JIWON JEON: Well, so I was kind of surprised that I had a hole-in-one on number, was it 7?

Q. No. 7, yeah.

JIWON JEON: No. 7. I was surprised because on the tee you can't really see the hole. So I thought it was a good shot and good 5-iron, like a little drawing, hits the green, and I was like, oh, it's a good shot.

Then I didn't see it land and then roll, so I didn't really know where it finished. So when I got there Hinako like came up like, you made a hole-in-one, and we were just like celebrating afterwards. So it was very excited, very fun moment there.

Q. What club?

JIWON JEON: I hit 5-iron.

Q. So second hole-in-one. How many hole-in-one for your whole career?

JIWON JEON: It's actually my third hole-in-one in my career, like second one of the year, so very fun.

Q. It's easy for to you hit hole-in-one this year? You just have two.

JIWON JEON: No, not really. I mean, I was just very lucky to have a hole-in-one. I think it's just a gift. You know, every player hits a good shot, but I think hole-in-one is just kind of gift that players get.

Q. Hole-in-one but no Buick prize.

JIWON JEON: I know. It's kind of bummer that I didn't get a car, I didn't get a prize. I'm still happy that I made a hole-in-one. It's very fun moment, yeah?
