Quick Quotes

Q. In Gee, a nice 5-under start to the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Six birdies today, including three kind of down that closing stretch. Take us through that closing stretch and how important it was to find some birdies to get to the 5-under mark today.

IN GEE CHUN: I think was a great start. This week is only three days tournament so we need lots of birdie on the course.

I had one bogey there but still I feel it's a good start.

Q. You were off for the last month, no golf. Where were you and were what you doing to spend the time?

IN GEE CHUN: I play a lot of golf from Korea because I played my sponsor event, so one of the major tournament in Korea, KB Star Championship, so I play there. I really wanted to make good result in my home country so I did a lot of golf.

And I went to Lancaster, raised money for my educational foundation. So it was a great time and was great to see all the recipients and board members and members at the Lancaster. I had a good vibe from there. That's how I made a good round today.

Q. Uh-huh. Awesome. Lancaster Pennsylvania?

IN GEE CHUN: Yes.

Q. Oh, nice. That's where you --

IN GEE CHUN: Where I won The Open.

Q. So you do a lot of work there?

IN GEE CHUN: Yeah, because I had my educational foundation there.

Q. Okay.

IN GEE CHUN: So I went there every year and raise money, do something to donate to all the members and kids.

Q. Awesome. Give back to the community.

IN GEE CHUN: Yes. Great to have a good community with good people out there.

Q. Absolutely. And you would attribute today's good score to the good vibes and the good mojo from that?

IN GEE CHUN: Yeah.

Q. Nice. Entering the week what was your mindset specifically of how to attack a three-day tournament?

IN GEE CHUN: I feel like we need lots birdies out there because player can play like low score here, but first thing I'm trying to make a bogey-free round and trying to make birdie as much as I can.

That's my goal. I want to see where I end later.

Q. Absolutely. How did the course play today? How was the setup of it, the softness, the conditions? What was it like out there?

IN GEE CHUN: I feel like always greens are little softer than normal here, but it's in great shape, so I could roll the ball where I wanted.

So it's great. Course in great shape, and enjoyed to play golf out there.
