U.S. WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

August 2, 2016

Yuka Saso

Springfield, Pennsylvania

So I think it was an exciting round, double bogey all the way to an eagle. Tell me how you feel?

YUKA SASO: I feel thankful because my shot on the front nine was really bad, but on the back nine I was like refreshed and hitting a good shot. And on the par-5, hole number 8, that was a really good shot.

Q. Is that where you had the eagle?
YUKA SASO: Uh-huh.

Q. Can you tell me about what happened on that hole?
YUKA SASO: I hit a hybrid for the second shot and then my putting for eagle is like one pin, then it went in.

Q. So your putt was about a flag away?
YUKA SASO: Yeah.

Q. How are you feeling going into match play? You've done well in stroke play, but it changes now.
YUKA SASO: Yeah, I feel really thankful because my goal this week was to get into match play and I did. So for the next goal is I think to win the match if I can.

Q. Have you played a lot of match play before?
YUKA SASO: Not really. I played just Girls this year two weeks ago, and I played there and I lost in round two. So I want to win more this week.

Q. Do better than that?
YUKA SASO: Yeah.

Q. Are you on the National Team in the Philippines?
YUKA SASO: Yes, yes.

Q. What's that like? Do you guys travel around a lot? Tell me a little bit about that?
YUKA SASO: Yeah, I actually travel a lot more than my teammates. Because they actually just travel when we have team events, but I joined a lot of Asian tournaments, like Singapore Open or something.

Q. Do you enjoy it?
YUKA SASO: Uh-huh. I really enjoy it.

Q. How long have you been playing golf?
YUKA SASO: Six years.

Q. And you have fun?
YUKA SASO: I love it.

Q. Good. It looks like you have a big smile on your face?
YUKA SASO: Thank you. Thank you.
