BLUE BAY LPGA


October 30, 2015


Sei Young Kim


Hainan Island, China

Q. It looked extremely windy and the conditions are obviously really tough. Is that the windiest you've played in a while?
SEI YOUNG KIM: This week. Last week still same, windy. Yeah, I find it helped to play well in the wind today.

Q. I remember you said last week, you said, I like playing in the wind; you won in Hawai'i and the Bahamas where it's all windy.
SEI YOUNG KIM: I like the windy weather because I'm using a lot of skills and low cut shots. Very interesting.

Q. Did you look at the leaderboard at all?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, I saw that.

Q. What were you thinking? Were you thinking, what's going on?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, today it's very tough. I think I play with Suzann tomorrow. If I play with her, it's the first time, so I'm very looking forward. When I was young, I watched her.

Q. She was your idol?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah.

Q. You've never played with her?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Never, never.

Q. So you're thinking, all right, let me get to 1-under at least?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah.

Q. Last week, you said you want to get three wins, that was your goal this year?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, this year.

Q. Obviously you're in good position to do that?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, I think good position now, good opportunity come to me. So I want to catch this opportunity. But I have to be patient because the past couple tournament, I was like too greedy and then I couldn't be patient.

Q. So patience wasn't as good and you're getting better at that this week?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yes.

Q. How did you do that? Has Paul helped you, or what's been the difference that you have been able to be patient?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Paul helped me, and I'm just focusing my mind. Sometimes very up-and-down my mind, so just inner peace.

Q. Just all in your head?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, that's very important.

Q. What did you think about this course when you first saw it? This is your first time here?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, first time. This course, the greens are very grainy, and so I was practicing a lot on the green. That helped me a lot. And I think the green surrounds are very important. I practiced the pitch and the chip. It worked.

Q. It did work. Now you see the scoreboard, there's a lot of people within one or two shots. Does that -- do you like that or would you rather be more separated? Do you like it packed with a lot of people? Give you more incentive to go out and play better?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, play better.

Q. Tomorrow, what are you going to try and do? The same as today?
SEI YOUNG KIM: Just the same as today and the last day, and keep the focus in my mind. And then practice a lot. Keep practicing and relax.
