December 8, 2017
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Q. Great round today,66. What made the difference there today?
IN-KYUNG KIM: I think I hit the ball really well today. I gave myself a lot of opportunities. But I think it just paid off, staying patient, to finish birdie on 17 and 18.
Q. So were they long putts, short putts, the birdie putts?
IN-KYUNG KIM: Just tap-in, 17 and 18. Almost tap-in on 18. I gave myself a lot of opportunities. Like 11, and I thought a couple pin positions were really tough, but I was able to manage to give myself good chances. Didn't have those -- I didn't make everything, but I felt like I gave a good go today.
Q. So your iron play was more accurate today?
IN-KYUNG KIM: Yeah, I think there are a lot of good numbers in it, yeah.
Q. Do you think you can win this tournament for the second time?
IN-KYUNG KIM: You know, that's the goal, but I just wanted to play well tomorrow and go home just to my family, see my family.
Q. So you're just relaxing?
IN-KYUNG KIM: Yeah, because the afternoon seems more windier. I think I had the privilege to play without the wind. You know, less hassle. It's not impossible, but when it's windy, the scores can be tricky.
Q. And you're not a long hitter; right?
IN-KYUNG KIM: I'm not short. Average.
Q. Is it a long hitter's course here?
IN-KYUNG KIM: I think it's not really long hitter or short hitter's course. It's like how many putts drops, I think, kind of course. Because it's not very slopey but there are a lot of grain into it. I'm not sure I played with the grain the last time I was here because I heard they changed the greens a few years ago. I think the green reading, trusting it, is tricky, but whoever trusts it, I guess.
