Quick Quotes


Q. All right, here with Yu Liu after the final round here in Mexico. Talk about this week as a whole. Great finish for and you also secured a spot in Mizuho with your finish.

YU LIU: Yes, it was definitely a very full circle moment the last hole where I get to birdie the last two which was definitely felt just a touch better with coming in with two birdies.

Very happy about how I handled myself out there this week, yeah.

Q. Obviously might not have gone into this week thinking about getting into Mizuho, but what does it mean to have likely secured a spot for next week?

YU LIU: Yeah, it means so much because this is a course that I felt like it requires you to be -- it really challenges all parts of your game. I felt like thankfully I was able to bring my pretty top game out there, and I also learned a lot throughout my four rounds.

Q. And you talked this week about how much focus it took on this golf course as well. How would you rate how you did out there after the end of this week?

YU LIU: Yeah, I would rate honestly a 9.8 out of 10. Never perfect, but pretty close.

Q. Traveling to Mizuho, you're planning to leave today?

YU LIU: Yeah.

Q. Do you have to make a flight change?

YU LIU: I planned for a lot of different scenarios because I was going to go home to -- it's actually a bit of a mixed feeling because I was going to do my U.S. Open qualifier this Wednesday, but if I commit to playing Mizuho that means I had to forgo that opportunity to play the qualification.

I just felt like it gave me a backup. Like either way it will work out eventually I guess. I think it sort of kept me mentally in a better spot, yeah.

Q. Walking away from this week, what do you take most from what you've learned this week?

YU LIU: Honestly on top of my head it's really hard to conclude in like short sentences. It was very precious experience out there, yeah.
