Q. Thanks for having the time today. Tell us about how your round went, round one.
YUNSEO YANG: I didn’t know if I would be able to shoot this kind of score in the first round. In the second half, some short birdie putts dropped, which helped me post a good score.
I played practice rounds on this course for two days. I believed that “you need to know the course well to score well.” I felt that two rounds weren’t enough. As I continue to play more rounds, I think I’ll get to know the course better. Rather than playing aggressively, I plan to play more conservatively and steadily.
Even after finishing the round, I reminded myself that “it’s only the first day.” I plan to focus on each day as it comes. I’ll concentrate on the ball in front of me. If I do that, I think good results will follow.
