When you came over to compete on the LPGA, did you expect to make this big of an impact this early in your career? SEI YOUNG KIM: No. Just one time, one win, I expected. But three times, I couldn't expect that. Amazing. Yeah, I'm just grateful. Q. What's been the most difficult thing for you coming over here and adjusting to life on the LPGA Tour? SEI YOUNG KIM: The courses are very different compared with the Korea courses. The caddy, we are different rankings. Then the first time very hard, struggling with that, but after a couple tournaments, we are more comfortable and play getting better. Q. What's the most difference between the Korea and the U.S. golf courses? SEI YOUNG KIM: Korea, I think in Korea I don't need a lot of skills, just straight and win the shot. But in America, I need the cut shot, low shot, high shot and then how to using a (indiscernible) is the most important to me. So yeah, sometimes I'm very confused because I need a lot of‑‑ I have to memorize a lot of skill. Q. You think your golf style fits in more for America than Korea?

Last year Lydia Ko had a great rookie season. You won three tournaments this year in your rookie season. We're seeing a lot of good young players. Do you think that's something that will continue with all the golf programs and player development at an early age?

SEI YOUNG KIM: I think the young player more practice a lot and then more have lesson. That's the reason I think so, yeah. Q. Has there been someone this year that's really helped you out? Maybe another player? Maybe Paul, your caddy, who's really made a difference for you to help get more comfortable with the LPGA game? SEI YOUNG KIM: Yeah, Paul is a really important to me. If he not, I couldn't make this career. He's a veteran caddie, long time play, and he's a lot of‑‑ he has a lot of experience that's very helped me. Q. One thing you would do different this year looking back? SEI YOUNG KIM: I think the same. Q. Wouldn't change anything? SEI YOUNG KIM: When I came first time stay, so nobody didn't know me. After now, a couple peoples know me. "Sei" and cheer me, so I'm very excited. Wow, American people know me. Q.
