JEONG JANG: But it's not just one thing. It's my wrist. My wrist is not healthy. I had a wrist surgery done. So it's just from my just wrist problem, injury like before. Just can't practice as much as before. Just I think I just can't practice as much as all the girls. So I'm just thinking it's time. Q. Too tough to compete out here if you can't practice? JEONG JANG: Yeah. You know, all the players getting so good. You know, all the young kids, and you know, they hit so far. Q.  Right. Any plans for a second career? What will you do after this? JEONG JANG: Actually I just want to rest a few months at least. Just don't think about not going anywhere. And I don't want to pack. I want to just be mom, be wife, being just daughter. And just stay home, just relax and not really think about it. Q. Wasn't your husband caddying for you for a while? JEONG JANG: Two years. Q. What's he doing now? JEONG JANG: He just go back to work and he was teaching golf. Q. Okay.

JEONG JANG: Yeah. We will stay in Orlando. Q. What do you want your legacy to be leaving? What do you want people to remember you for out here? JEONG JANG: I don't know. Q. I mean you were one of the first Korean players to win out here and started kind of a lot of‑‑ JEONG JANG: Yeah, first generation like Se Ri and me and Hee‑Won and Kimmie and Grace. I just don't know, I never think about it. But just something good think about me. Q. Hee‑Won is retiring as well this week as well. I don't know if you knew that. JEONG JANG: Of course I knew that. It was decided almost together. Q. You did? JEONG JANG: Yeah. Q. Did you all talk about that much? JEONG JANG: We talk about, because you know, she's the only one out here with the kids, the Korean players. So we talked a lot and we share with the kids' stuff. But we talk about a lot. It's just too tough. Q. Do you want to make the cut this week? I mean is that a goal? JEONG JANG: Of course. Of course. You know, I'm not just kidding. To see if I can. I want to play Sunday in the last group. I want to try, but of course I want to make cut. Q. Any second thoughts golf wise if you did do that? Would you be like, oh‑‑ JEONG JANG: You know, last group would be good, but I want to say I want to just finish with Top 10. That would be nice.
