THE MODERATOR: Welcome, Richard T. Lee, a 4-under 66 today, currently hold the solo lead. Two rounds down, you've put yourself in a great spot to contend for the title. You were really close in Singapore that ended in a playoff with Bryson. What would a victory in the final event of the season mean for you?
RICHARD T. LEE: I don't want to think too ahead for myself, but yeah, definitely a victory would be amazing. It's always been a dream to play with these guys and have a big victory out there. Hopefully if I win I have a little surprise for my wife this week.
Q. You earned your way on to the league this year through LIV Golf Promotions. You won that handily. What's this season and this whole LIV experience, if you had a chance to sum up to this point what it's meant, what has it meant for you and your career?
RICHARD T. LEE: Definitely a dream come true. Coming out here, just having everything I want and everything I need. The courses are spectacular, and the conditions are amazing. People are nice. Just being on a tour like this is just a dream come true.
Q. What would you say is the thing you learned most about your game since you've been out here or an area of your game that may have grown or something else maybe even beyond the ropes?
RICHARD T. LEE: I think the last few years I've been getting my putting stats a lot better. For this year, I've been watching all the good players chip around the green, and they have amazing short game. I picked up a few skills out of there, and hopefully I can put it in use into my tournaments as well.
I think this year, yeah, definitely just shooting lower scores out here, being aggressive, but at the same time not making mistakes is I think possibly the key thing out here.
Q. Do you find yourself gravitating toward one or two players to watch that you feel like you can pick up the most or maybe are similar to your game, things that you can learn from?
RICHARD T. LEE: I think Jon Rahm has an incredible short game. Just the sound off his wedge is amazing. I've been trying to look at his short game and trying to replicate it. I'm not there yet, but hopefully I can get there.
Definitely Bryson hitting it long out there is definitely a key for me, to hit it a bit longer and straighter. I think those two guys are pretty much on my list.
Q. In New York you had a nice result. In fact, it was the best result since Singapore. You had to WD there in the UK. Did you feel good about the game coming into this week?
RICHARD T. LEE: Yeah, definitely. I actually found my putting, and it kind of showed this week.
Q. What range would you say gives you the most trouble and maybe something you've improved on?
RICHARD T. LEE: I think I've been controlling my iron shots really well this week and just putting me in positions that I can make putts much easier.
Q. Obviously you get to tee off on the 1st hole. You have a party hole, you have a walk-up song. How difficult was it to choose a walk-up song?
RICHARD T. LEE: I was laying in bed with my wife, and she actually picked the song for me. Take my money -- I think it was take my money. I don't know exactly what the title is, the name of it. But I love the beat; after "she take my money," then there was a dah-dah-dah-dah-dah. I think that song was actually pretty good.
