Q. Super quick, just walk me through the mindset going into today.
MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I mean, I had not too many expectations. I didn't want to put that kind of pressure on myself, especially having five weeks off.
Yeah, just wanted to have a nice day. It was really great weather. Nice walk out there.
Q. Yeah. Must be refreshing to come back to it a little bit. What does playing in LA mean to you?
MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I've had some nice weeks, nice memories in LA. I feel like it's a bit more familiar than any other states I go to other than Dallas because that's where I live.
Just feels like, I don't know, the weather is a little bit more like home. The food and just the vibe is -- just reminds me of Perth.
I always like coming back and competing in the U.S. Open. It's always a great feeling and always -- I'm a past champion, so I hold great pride coming back.
Q. What are you looking forward to for the rest of the week here?
MINJEE LEE: I think some more great weather. I think it's going to be great turnout. I think the crowds will be really good come tomorrow, the weekend. I think like Alison said, there is not too much going on other than maybe the Women's U.S. Open, so hopefully see a lot more kids and crowds come out. Yeah, I'm just looking forward to just playing, yeah.
