Q. (In Mandarin-not translated.)
RUONING YIN: It's meaningful playing for titles, but at home we have home crowd, home fans, so a lot of moments where it's going to be different.
Q. Jeeno, back in Shanghai as world No. 1 player. How are you settling in? (Indiscernible.)
JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, I mean, like second time here in Shanghai, and I had really good time last year in Shanghai for the first time playing.
And then also playing alongside Ronni and we had a lot of China fan. So I feel like every time I play in Asia I just love being in Asia; feel so good. The weather what we used to, and then just really being excited to be here again competing.
Q. (Through translation.) Lilia, you were impressive (indiscernible.) What's the game plan coming into this week? Are you looking to repeat that performance or...
LILIA VU: Yeah, I would say two years ago I didn't expect to be in that position, be in the playoff on the last day, but I have good memories here.
And then my game plan for this week is just to go out here and fun and try to put up a good four rounds.
Q. (Indiscernible.) (Question to Minjee.) For young players watching, what's the secret, what's the key to not just reaching the top but staying there? What's your secret?
MINJEE LEE: I just think when I was younger I did a lot of practice with my basics, fundamentals, so I think that was really important to have those basics, and then I could work on other skills.
So I think that's really important for like juniors and amateurs when you're young, I think just keeping -- you know, like those things are important to me, so I think in my professional career I always fall back to those thoughts and those basics.
Yeah, pretty much.
Q. (Indiscernible.) (Question for Jennifer.) Six years since is the last time you tee'd up here. What is the biggest difference you notice?
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, I think it's been six years since I've been here, but I think just in the six years, the competition out on the LPGA has gotten very stiff. A lot of young rookies, really good players, and really anybody can win any week.
So I think it's just continuing to try to make myself better to go along with the rest of the competition.
I think also, I continue to grow my game in the last six years so I'm just excited to be back.
Q. (Indiscernible.) (Question for Jeeno Thitikul.) Has she returned the favor and most importantly (indiscernible.)

Q. This question to Minjee. You've been here for every edition of the tournament. (Regarding coming back to the golf tournament.)
MINJEE LEE: I mean, I've been here seven times so obviously I like it. But, no, I always love coming back. I think it fits really well in my schedule and the food is great, hospitality is always really nice.
We just get looked after really well, so I really enjoy coming back and visiting.

RUONING YIN: (In Mandarin-no translated.)
Q. (Indiscernible.) (Question for Lilia regarding her journey recently.) How has that shift your play and shift your personality?
LILIA VU: Yeah, I would say I went through a lot this year with my body. At the beginning of the year I played in Thailand. I was in a lot of pain, back pain especially. I made a change this year kind of with different eating habits, gluten free, dairy free and that really helped my body, but also changed my body a lot.
I feel a lot better. I have no pain. I mean, golf is rough for a couple months, but I'm just waiting for it all to translate. I feel really good in my body and just can't wait to have a fun week.
Q. (Indiscernible.) Last question to Jennifer Kupcho. For your rookie year, rookie player now to a major champion; since you last visit, how would you describe the evolution of your game and approach to the tournament now?
JENNIFER KUPCHO: Yeah, I think since my rookie year, last time I've been here my game has definitely evolved. My all around game, everything has gotten a lot better. Just in general as well changed as a person.
I think coming over to Asia I was a little awestruck, but now I'm a little bit more able to eat things that I'm not used to. I'm excited to try some cuisine this year compared to back in 2019 when I was first here.
