Press Conference

Q. 10 under, even par today. How important was that birdie at the last hole, end your round?

HYO JOO KIM: It was very important because it was a matter of over par or not. I had a chance at the 16th hole but I missed. So I was a little angry. Now I feel much better since I made a birdie on the last hole.

Q. Two birdies, two bogeys today. Overall how do you feel you played? What is different from earlier this week?

HYO JOO KIM: It was very windy today. There was a lot of wind going back and forth. I think it was difficult because it was not specifically direction. The pin position was also difficult compared to the first and second rounds. I had a hard time in that regard.

Q. How was the wind today?

HYO JOO KIM: It's blowing too much. I can't believe that I played in this wind. But the wind has been blow whole week. So I never thought like 'It's really hard', 'What's wrong with the weather?' I didn't do that. But it was especially strong windy today, so it was difficult. I think not only me but all the players did.

Q. What are your hope to achieve tomorrow? What are your plans for tomorrow?

HYO JOO KIM: I think it will be windy tomorrow, too. I think I'll keep trying to put more on the green. I was sad that I missed a lot of birdie putts today. I hope to make a lot of chances tomorrow.
