SEI YOUNG KIM: The 15th hole, it was a par-5. To the pin, 220 meters, but that was a right pin, but I had to stay left my second shot, but I missed on the right side, but it was good luck it's not going in the hazard. So yeah, easy chip, and then I made that putt. Next hole, second shot was to the pin 130 meters. I use meters. Q. That's okay. SEI YOUNG KIM: I hit 9-iron. It just stayed right side five feet, and I made the putt. Next hole, short hole. To the pin 120. Q. It was a short par-3? SEI YOUNG KIM: I hit 9-iron. It almost made it, to two feet. Q.
