Press Conference


Q. Here with Miyu back at the TOTO Japan Classic. What's it like to be back playing in Japan in front of all the Japanese fans?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) Really looking forward to playing in front of the Japanese fans.

Q. I asked Rio this question. The last two winners have been JLPGA members. What is it about the JLPGA that you've seen maybe that allows them to compete with some of the LPGA members?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) It's kind of advantage for the Japanese players because they already get used to play the Japanese golf course.

This is one point.

And also the level of Japanese golf is getting higher and that's another point to win.

Q. What are some of the differences in some of the Japanese courses compared to the American courses you've played?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) It's a type of grass. It's totally different than U.S. The shape of the golf course is different from U.S. in Japan, yeah.
