Q. About today’s round
ERIKA HARA (translated): "It was a tough start, but I made some good par saves on the 7th and 8th holes. Then I had a surprising eagle on the 10th, and I was able to build some momentum and keep improving my score from there. I'm really happy with the way I finished."
Q. About an eagle on 10th hole
ERIKA HARA (translated): "It was exactly the shot I wanted to hit, but the ball took a bigger bounce than I expected. At first, I thought it might have gone long, but then I found out it had gone in. I was very lucky."
Q About today’s weather
ERIKA HARA (translated): "It was really cold in the morning, and then it suddenly started raining, so there were a lot of things to think about and it made for a tough day. The conditions gradually improved on the back nine, though, and I'm glad I was able to play some good golf. The forecast says the weather will be even tougher tomorrow, so I'll make sure to practice well and be ready to hit the shots I'm aiming for."
