Quick Quotes


Q. Opening round, 5-under, tell me what you liked today.

K.H. LEE: Today, great first nine, especially No. 9, make eagle. A lot of good momentum there. And a couple of bogeys on No. 10 and 11. But 15 and 16, make good birdies. So very long for me.

Q. Really strong start. But walk me through the starts on No. 9 for the eagle.

K.H. LEE: Yes, I tried tee shot throughout because when I practice long yesterday or two days ago, always miss right side, but today is still left side. So I'm very happy. And even pin push on the right side, perfect angle for me. And 9-iron feels really good when I hit it in the hole. It's perfect.

Q. And only your third start here. How challenging is this golf course to go around?

K.H. LEE: This course is challenging everything, like tee shots, second shot, putting, chipping. All-around test for a player. I tried just keep momentum well and try iron shot and putting more focus.
