U.S. GIRLS' JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP


July 27, 2017


Yu-Sang Hou


Augusta, Missouri

Q. Big win today; tell me about your match.
YU-SANG HOU: I didn't start well. I bogeyed on the first two holes. But I just -- how do you say?

Q. Hung in there?
YU-SANG HOU: Yeah, I just hang in there, I had a birdie on the third.

Q. Third hole?
YU-SANG HOU: Yeah, and Lucy birdied that, so Lucy is 1-up, so 7, I had a birdie, so it's all square, and then after that I had a birdie on No. 9, and that made me feel a lot more better.

Q. How long was your putt?
YU-SANG HOU: Like seven yards. It made me feel a lot more better and more confident. But I bogeyed on 10, so the match is all square again. But we missed the putt on 11. We both had short birdie putts, but we didn't make it. But I made a birdie on the next hole, on No. 12. So it just keeps like all square, 1-up, 2-up and all kind of stuff, and my caddie told me, hang in there, just do your job, you're good. I was 2-up until 16, and Lucy birdied that. No. 16, a really good putt. So 1-up, and 17. She hit it into a right bush her second shot, and I hit it on the green, so I just won the match. So it's a really good match playing with Lucy. Good player.

Q. She's a good player, and a lot of people know her.
YU-SANG HOU: Yeah.

Q. When you went into this match, you knew you had a good player?
YU-SANG HOU: Yeah, yeah, she's young but she's really good and a lot of news for her. It's kind of a lot of pressure, and I was texting to my sister, hey, I'm nervous. She said, you've got this. I won the match yesterday, and I played really well, so you just keep going.

Q. So this afternoon you've got another match to play; does this feel good? You have some momentum going.
YU-SANG HOU: Yeah, just keep doing great and just hit my best shots.

Q. Is this the farthest -- last year -- you were a finalist last year, weren't you?
YU-SANG HOU: No, I played round 32, I think. I played a match with my sister in the early morning that day.

Q. How many of these have you played?
YU-SANG HOU: Girls' Junior, this is my third year and last year, actually.
