Congressional Country Club (Blue Course)

Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Just so everyone knows, we'll do a few questions in English that Mimi will translate, and then we'll open up the rest in Japanese. Welcome to Washington D.C. to Bethesda, Maryland. Hinako Shibuno, past major champion. You played the course yesterday. What do you think about Congressional? Do you think it's going to be a good major test?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: Very hard. Very tough course.

THE MODERATOR: What makes it hard? Why is it tough?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: Everything, and the greens are very hard, and the rough around the greens. The distance is very long.

THE MODERATOR: So this is a long course. How do you think it will work for you? Do you think this is a good course for you?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: (Inaudible) -- to me, but it's still a nice course.

THE MODERATOR: So overall how are you feeling right now? How do you feel your game is as you come into this major championship?

HINAKO SHIBUNO: My game is not very good still, but I wish I can play for this until the weekend.

THE MODERATOR: I hope you do, too. We love having you here. Thank you.

HINAKO SHIBUNO: Thank you.
