Quick Quotes

Q. Janet, what a great round today, bogey-free. Started off 10 and you had so many birdies on the back nine. When did the momentum start kicking in for you?

JANET LIN: Um, I started off really well. First couple of holes I had some chances and I hit all good putts and then it just lips out, so I keep telling myself to be patient.

Yeah, done a lot of hard work in the winter, so I really just need to believe in myself. Yeah, it's really good turning point at 18. I make a long putt and then make the turn (indiscernible) in from right side of the green. So that kind of just get stuff going.

And then in between I hit little bit missed greens and I save all like really good pars. And then last hole I been really long one, so it's been a good day.

Q. Yes, definitely. And it's your birthday. Happy birthday.

JANET LIN: Thank you.

Q. What did you do to celebrate coming up to this week, or have you not had a chance celebrate yet?

JANET LIN: Well, because if we counted the China time it was starting last night. Like my parents already texted me and then we called and then like most of my friend actually text me while I was sleeping last night, so I got some message this morning. I haven't got reply them yet.

But I feel like it's actually pretty pumped that playing first round of 2021's tournament as my birthday. So, yeah, really been looking forward to this week for a long time.

Q. What do you do for your birthday? Are you a dessert person? Do you eat cake?

JANET LIN: I did tell my friend that if I could I want to get a lava cake tonight, so see how that goes.

Q. Hopefully.

JANET LIN: Yeah, because with the protocol I can't really go out and it's also three more rounds of tournament to go, so I think I'm just going to take it easy tonight. I been over here for quite a long time, so like I think I could FaceTime my parents and just talk to them.

Q. And we hope that you get a win for your birthday week. Speaking of the things that you worked on, was there anything in particular that you worked on that you really want to see happen out on the golf course? Could be putting, chipping.

JANET LIN: I mean, last year since the lockdown started, like when I had so much time on my hand I was just telling myself I really want to work myself into good short game player, chipping, pitching and putting.

So I think we got a lot out of this last year and winter we kind of kept going, just working on those stuff. Because I always lose confidence with my swing, so it's mostly around the green, and also like little bit at mental, like believe in myself a little bit more.

So obviously I tried to have all them working today, so I think it's working pretty good.

Q. We definitely think it's working for you. Good luck the rest of this week.

JANET LIN: Thank you.
