Quick Quotes


Q. Great day today. Talk a little bit about what was working for you out there.

SI WOO KIM: Yeah, it was a good start today, birdie, birdie. Especially on the Nicklaus Course. I know everyone can shoot low, so it was usually a lot of pressure the first few holes because I had to make a lot of birdies. So I think that helps.

Then, yeah, I putted not great last week, but I putted great today, so I think it's back to find my rhythm, so hopefully I can go low again.

Q. Was there anything you changed from your putting from last week that you implemented this week?

SI WOO KIM: I think I hit a lot of good putts, but too many winds last week, so hard to read. Even right-to-left putts I have to aim left. So that was a little tricky. But this week has no wind, so I think that helps.
