Quick Quotes

Q. Just your thoughts on the tournament and what do you think of this golf course?

SIHWAN KIM: Just excited to be at the second event of LIV events. The golf course is great. It's playing pretty long. The course is like 7,600 yards or something.

Q. The greens are small, aren't they?

SIHWAN KIM: Greens are very small, and some parts of the greens are very undulating. Yeah, it's pretty quick, so I think you've just got to place yourself in the right positions the whole week.

Q. What's been the key to the way you approach shots?

SIHWAN KIM: I think it's good off the tee and good distance control with irons. I think that's the key.

Q. Tell me about the first tournament in London; everyone has been talking about it, but from your perspective, how good was it?

SIHWAN KIM: It's just been great how players have been treated the whole week. I think the whole week, I didn't leave the hotel, but I didn't need anything. Everything was in the hotel or even if you didn't have it, you could ask someone and they'll get it for you. How they treat players has just been phenomenal. Here, as well.

I think with the crowd we got in London, I think it was a huge success, and yeah, I think it's only going to get stronger from here.

Q. This being a reward for you for actually what you have done even before that --

SIHWAN KIM: Right.

Q. What do you think of the season so far, and how are you playing right now?

SIHWAN KIM: The season has been great. Obviously any season where you can get multiple wins is great. Right now I'm not hitting the best, but I'm kind of getting it back. Just got to miss it in the right spots and miss it on one side. I've been missing two sides for the last two months, which has been awful. At the same time, you're always trying to get better and learn. So yeah, just trying to do that.

Q. Talk to me about your team; Phachara, Kevin Na, the captain, and Sadom.

SIHWAN KIM: Yeah, we're pretty much an all-Asian team, Asian Tour team. I've been talking to Kevin quite a bit over the last year and a half, and he's helped me out with a lot of things over the last year and a half and gotten to know him quite a bit, and he's a great guy. Yeah, I think the team is good. I think Phachara and Sadom is playing well and Kevin always plays well. I've just got to keep up.
