Flash Interview


Q. Nasa Hataoka, 4-over 76 today. Talk us through your round out there today.

NASA HATAOKA: Well, today I was not able to achieve some of my targets unfortunately. Now, yesterday I think my putt work was quite good. But today I was not able to achieve those levels unfortunately.

Q. Ultimately came up a little bit short. What will you take away from this week?

NASA HATAOKA: Well, was the first time for me to experience going through the rounds with the top ranched group. That was of course pressure for myself which I felt, but because I was in that ranking as we were going through each of the holes, I think I was able to learn from that.

It really gave me confidence. 0based on this experience and confidence I hope this will be fuel for my future.

Q. What will you remember about this historic week for women's golf here at Pebble Beach?

NASA HATAOKA: I was able to play at Pebble Beach for goodness sakes. And that in itself was a great honor and a great joy for me. Televisions wave been nice to have my name on that cup, of course, and that was disappointing.

But I will give my fuel for the future as I said.
