Quick Quotes

Q. What a great finish for you overall; bogey-free day.

EUN-HEE JI: Yeah.

Q. I would imagine the only thing you could ask for is maybe a couple more birdies. How much did you feel that you really gave it all you had today?

EUN-HEE JI: Like what I was feel on front nine, I don't feel great because I didn't make any putts and I didn't have any good shots on front nine.

So, like, okay, it's going to be hard day. Just focus on my game. And Nasa play really well on front nine, too. Okay, forget about; just play my own. Yeah, that's all.

Q. Did the feelings of how you were playing chance once you got to the back nine?

EUN-HEE JI: Actually, not really, but soon as I make the eagle and I get more confidence off that, and then right next hole I hit a really great shot but I didn't make the putt.

But, you know, I just take that way.

Q. You made the eagle on No. 14. Can you take us through that hole from the tee to the putt, how far you were out, the clubs you used?

EUN-HEE JI: So was it a little into the wind. I hit a driver and I hit it pretty well.

I got 188 to the front and 215 to the pin, and it was a little into the wind, too. So I hit 3-wood. My ball line was a little bit uphill so I feel like 3-wood is a good club out of there.

So hit the 3-wood. Hit it pretty good. Just straight at the pin and I made an eagle. (Laughter.)

Q. When you made the birdie putt on 18, it cut the deficit to one. You only lost by one. Was it nice to make the birdie or did it help bring out an emotion of like, Oh, man I wish I had made more of these today?

EUN-HEE JI: No. Actually, at last hole in the bunker it was really bad spot for that pin, today pin.

I was thinking like, Oh, back bunker, oh, I'm in really bad spot. How can I stop the ball from there? I'm like, maybe I can hit it harder from out of there because there is no (indiscernible) out of bunker. So I never try before. I just try like first time today.

Q. Oh, really.

EUN-HEE JI: Yeah.

Q. You hit a putter out of the bunker?

EUN-HEE JI: Yeah.

Q. Oh, wow.

EUN-HEE JI: And finally I just made a birdie. But, yeah, if made a eagle, it was great chance to make, you know, going to the (indiscernible), but birdie is good, too, from there.

Q. Absolutely. Will you ever hit a putter out of a bunker again?

EUN-HEE JI: Yes.

Q. Yes?

EUN-HEE JI: Oh, I think so. If I'm same position, I will do it.

Q. Okay.

EUN-HEE JI: Yeah.

Q. Okay. How good does your game feel having put together a pretty solid week like this?

EUN-HEE JI: You know, from last week I hit it really great round last round. Continue I think from there to continue to today. Just bit more confidence of my swing, and, yeah, just more confidence. That's why I just play well.
