Quick Quotes
Q. What a phenomenal round. I hear you missed one fairway all day.
IN GEE CHUN: Really. I didn't know that.
Q. Did everything feel great out there today?
IN GEE CHUN: I tried to make good focus on the putting green because I have spasm in my neck, so I didn't try to hit hard. And then I think it went really well on the putting green, and then I could really bring the greens really well. That's how I made a good score today.
And then I'll say I didn't know I missed only one fairway. Which means my shot was good, too. I can see the more positive things for tomorrow.
Q. And how is your neck?
IN GEE CHUN: It's almost gone. But it's still a little left, but I'm so happy to be back.
Q. Amazing. Cleaver physios.
IN GEE CHUN: Yeah.
Q. And so you haven't been able to practice as much. Do you think -- sometimes people say beware of the injured golfer. Do you think it's helped you because you've been having to kind of -- you're aware that you've had this little injury?
IN GEE CHUN: I don't know. I guess from my ten year's experience on the Tour, sometimes when I feel not good and then I made a better result, sometimes when I feel really good and still I can make the good scores. So I think golf is fun.
Q. Golf is fun.
IN GEE CHUN: Yeah. That's why.
Q. And does it add a little bit of challenge to you to be playing and have to work out how to get the great -- to get a good score on the first day when you're feeling like you were, to hold that together? It's really set you up for the rest of the week by managing to play with the problem, but you finished.
IN GEE CHUN: I think my neck going to feel really 100 percent, I hope, tomorrow. So I'm trying to be patient with my golf game. And I know I know a lot of good players here, so I'm trying to make good (indiscernible) on my game and see where I am later.
Q. And yesterday you mentioned you couldn't do full swing.
IN GEE CHUN: Yeah.
Q. You can do full swing now?
IN GEE CHUN: This is why I said I'm so happy because I made incredible swing today, and it was not much hurt. So that's why I feel like tomorrow going to be really good.
Q. And then just back to, again, so on the first day, I saw you, and you couldn't bend down or move. Did you think about pulling out on that day, or did you think I'm going to keep going?
IN GEE CHUN: I almost thought like going to withdraw on Thursday because No. 11, it really hurt. And then the pain was really sharp. But then after I finished the third round, I talked to Megan, then we talk about golf. That's why golf is so much fun, because I almost got withdraw, and then now I made a good score and made a bogey-free round today.
Q. So that's amazing. So when you were thinking about withdrawing, what stopped you? Just you thought I'm just determined to finish? Or did you not withdraw because you thought I can just about manage?
IN GEE CHUN: I thought because of my golf game going like up and it's on the right way, so I thought just if I make today, then I can try to get some rest and then physio, then I can have more -- then I can see like tomorrow, more chance to think about my game going.
So I just trying to do my best, took the Advils, and then doing the half swings. I'm so glad to make the like last three days.
Q. Very good decision. Well played. Thank you.
