HSBC WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSFebruary 28, 2017Amanda TanRepublic of Singapore Q. So you were in a three-way playoff in the international qualifier. Tell me about that. AMANDA TAN: There was a playoff, and at first when I finished my game, I went up there, like go up the stairs watching the behind flight coming. I didn't actually think there was going to be a playoff because I didn't know if my score was going to be good enough. I was hearing people from behind saying how well the other two girls was playing. So I kind of basically thought it was over, was ready to kind of go. And then they suddenly told me there was a playoff. I was very, very nervous when I got on the tee. Then teed off; second shot I hit into a bunker, and I was very, very nervous, especially since I've never played any bunker shot in the last two days. So then when I hit that bunker shot, I thought it was pretty good, but I couldn't see because it was on the hill. I looked at my brother who was caddying for me, and then he told me, yeah, it's not bad. So I walk up and yeah, I saw it was pretty good, like tap-in. And yeah, when I tapped it in and won the tournament, yeah, it felt really good. Q. So 2014 was the first time you played HSBC? AMANDA TAN: Correct. Q. How did you feel then and what are your aspirations for this year's tournament? AMANDA TAN: Then I felt like it was more experience. I'm not saying this is not experience but 2014, I was just looking at what the pros are doing, what are the procedures and stuff like that. But this year, I think I'm a bit more prepared and I know what's going on, and what I should be doing, so I think the experience has helped me a lot and of course, with other pro events in the last few years, definitely did help. Q. So have you had a chance to talk to any of the other players yet? AMANDA TAN: I like kind of bumped into Lydia. Yeah, it was nice, because she kind of remembered me. So we kind of talked. She knew I come through and she was happy for me. Yeah, it was really nice. Q. So you just turned pro. Can you tell us more about that? AMANDA TAN: Yes, I just turned pro about two weeks ago. And yeah, I mean, physically and I just don't feel any different, but I think mentally, definitely a big change. I felt like when I go and practice, you know, I felt the need to work harder because this is my career and I'm doing it for a living now. Instead like before, I kind of slack off and veer, drift away, and yeah. I think that's the big difference. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
