Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Jin Young Ko. I know 1-over probably wasn't the result you were looking for, but that's still a great round in these conditions. Just how proud are you of that fight?

JIN YOUNG KO: Yeah, I was tough to round in the afternoon. Greens are bumpy poana and windy out there, so it was hard to be on the course.

But I play well today. I had some miss on the front nine so I got double; but I had one birdie back nine, so I can't wait to play on the weekend.

Q. How do you stay patient with these poana greens when you're seeing every putt bump around?

JIN YOUNG KO: Well, everyone the same condition for this course, so we have to get patient and just accept everything. Just be thankful.

Q. I like that. Heading into the weekend you're still in contention; just three back. We know you're a weekend player. What are you going to carry with you from the first two rounds into the weekend?

JIN YOUNG KO: Well, I want to play earlier for tomorrow, but, well, but I have to play like in the afternoon if I really want to get the wins, of course.

So I will be just patient on the course and I will just enjoy -- I will just keep doing it I did first two rounds.

So, yeah, it's going to be fun.

Q. What are you going to work on ahead of the weekend?

JIN YOUNG KO: Well, nothing. Just hit the target and then hit the ball and some putting. If make it, birdie or not, par, and then keep going, keep working to next hole, and then same.
