Quick Quotes


Q. Okay, we're here with Mi Hyang after her 1-up victory today at the T-Mobile Match Play. Looked like a battle back and forth between you and Lauren. Just talk about the match out there.

MI HYANG LEE: First of all was really great weather versus yesterday, so was good start the front nine. It was one eagle and zero bogey for me, so was a good front nine for me.

Even yesterday I thought -- so I never -- I don't have that much experience about the match play, so even yesterday more tough wind and tough weather, but still I want to just more aggressive. I think that's why I made a lot of the bogey.

So me and my caddie talk, okay, let's just make par first, and if we have a chance the par-5 to make the birdie there. So I think at that point it was a lot helping me and make me more comfortable on the golf course as well.

So I just made one bogey today, so I just really glad to finish just make one bogey on No. 17.

So, yeah, but also Lauren played so great. She made a lot of birdie with this golf course. A little trouble, like a lot of bogey as well. Was really great battle each other.

Then just, yeah, I think first winning the match play in this golf course to me, yeah.

Q. I had a question not particularly on today, but you drove up here on Sunday after Hyo Joo's win.

MI HYANG LEE: Yes.

Q. Talk about that and getting here Monday morning.

MI HYANG LEE: Sure, sure. So it was long day for me. So I think I finished around 4:30 p.m. I think, but she needs to playoff as well and she needs some ceremony, interview, some cheers with the volunteers and signing some flags. But it was really happy for her. And then it was my birthday as well, so really good memory for me, too.

And I think we left around 10:00 and quick stop at McDonald's and she bought to me chicken burger, so it was great for the winner dinner.

Also, just we drove whole night, midnight, got here 3:30, 4:00 a.m. We got a rental car at the airport, but we have a little problem at the airport too because it's too early or late but just one person is at there.

He couldn't find our name, so we just calling to the -- some, you know, like someone else, and we figured out and we left there 4:30, got to the hotel 5:00 a.m. We just planned playing nine holes because Tuesday is pro am, but we just give up because we just relax and just slept in until noon and went to Korean restaurant and a little bit of gamble.

We won. We won hundred bucks, so it's okay. We just put $20, 100 bucks. So simple day and then we went the pro-am party, so was like time was fly.

Q. (Regarding gambling.)

MI HYANG LEE: Just machine, slots. Like 75 cents. You're playing no more than 75 cents, so just keep playing 75 cents, yeah.
