Quick Quotes

Q. All right, your first ace in LPGA Tour competition. Just take me through what was happening out there on the par-3.

YU SANG: It was 180 yards and I had my 5-iron and there was no wind. As soon as I hit it I know it's a good shot, so I pick up my tee and I just walk away.

All of a sudden there is a guy by the green just like, is it in, and everybody just like screaming. I was like, okay, I'll take it.

Q. Did you get to celebrate a little bit out there?

YU SANG: Yes, I have a little high five with everybody. It was cool, yeah.

Q. So when is the last time you had an ace?

YU SANG: Last year actually. It was at the college event. It was the Annika collegiate. It was like 150 something yards; I hit my 7-iron of; it was cool.

But all my hole in ones I never seen goes in. It just -- everybody is, oh, hole in one. I'm like, oh, okay.

Q. So next time we'll watch that one go in.

YU SANG: Hopefully, yes.

Q. So with that, every ace on tour, $20,000 is donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital through the CME Group Cares Challenge. What does it mean that something like an ace can go towards something like curing childhood cancer?

YU SANG: It means a lot. I actually didn't know that and I think there is a lot of people need help. I'm really glad that it goes people in need, yeah.
