Q. You’re here in the lead after two rounds, tell me about your round and what was going so well?
SOMI LEE: In the beginning, my shots were good so I was able to make chances for myself so that was a relief. Yesterday, my putting was so bad so I practiced putting for 2 hours and I think the practice really came out in my first half so I was thankful. But, I do have a bit of regret in my second half so I am about to go and practice.
Q. How did you have to adjust playing in the very wet difficult conditions today?
SOMI LEE: Before I went, I checked on how far my irons went and since we are by the water and there’s a lot of wind, I really thought about that a lot. It was very wet, but it’s not only wet for me, so I tried to play with a positive mindset.
Q. You’ve been playing really well the last couple weeks, what do you think is the best part of your game these past few weeks?
SOMI LEE: First of all, last year in my rookie season, I thought a lot about how I can overall be better the next season and show a better side of me. So, I practiced a lot, gained weight, and worked out a lot so I’ve gained better stamina. With better stamina, I think my shots are able to be more consistent, and I think that I may be playing better this season.
Q. Going into Saturday, tied for the lead, what are your plans and feelings for that?
SOMI LEE: I’m trying my best not to think about the tournament and want to focus on resting while I am not playing and focusing on playing while I am playing. Recently, I’ve been in the top of a lot of tournaments, so I am just very happy. And I am happy I am playing better than last year and am glad to be playing well. I want to do my best till the very end the remaining two days.
