Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Round of 69 today, how satisfied are you with that performance.

YEALIMI NOH: Very satisfied. I'm a little disappointed on the last hole, three-putted off the green, missed a short one but I'm happy with the round overall.

THE MODERATOR: You're in good position going into the weekend. How much have the last couple days given you for what's ahead.

YEALIMI NOH: I'm hitting a lot of greens which is very helpful out here. The greens are simpler than you would think, like not as much slope, like on the greens, and they are running a little slower but yeah, just hitting a lot of greens and hopefully making more putts this week.

Q. Wondering how you came away from that. Was it more motivating? What was the feeling the next week?

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, for sure, super motivating like Evian is like one of my favorite events and it was so nice to have a good finish there in such a beautiful place. My best finish in a major and all year, basically I've had a rough start but finally having that good result definitely pushed me to play better for the weeks after.

Q. Does it make you feel after experienced Evian going into this weekend, this could be the week?

YEALIMI NOH: Hopefully but I don't know. I'm so physically hired from being on the road for so long that I just wanted to get through like each day like hole-by-hole and even beginning of this week, I was so unsure. I mean, I was playing well but just physically and mentally, I'm so tired, just get through to the weekend and go from there. But yeah.

Q. What are you doing to conserve energy?

YEALIMI NOH: Just leaving after my round and staying in my room for the rest of the day, just resting.

Q. So you are not practicing as much after the rounds?

YEALIMI NOH: Not really. I really want to conserve my energy. Like I said, my body needs rest.
