Inbee Park

Mixed Zone

Q. Congratulations. Well done. Highlights of today? Just talk us through that round.

INBEE PARK: It was a little less windy today. A little bit easier to play than yesterday. Hit a lot of good shots out there today. Gave my myself a lot of opportunities at birdie.

Yeah, it was fun playing like that. Yesterday I was in six bunkers. So I was able to avoid a lot of them today.

Q. Yeah, so many. Today, not many.

INBEE PARK: Today, just one.

Q. Just the one. Strongest part of your game today?

INBEE PARK: I think it was ball striking, actually. I hit a lot of good shots. I don't remember chipping at all today. So just hitting a lot of greens. And I'm thinking my putter was good, but there were so many opportunities.

Q. You know how to get major championships won. Are you getting that sense again this week, you're right in the hunt?

INBEE PARK: I think I'm in a good position, obviously. And I feel like my game is in good form. Just got to keep doing what I have been doing today.

So just try to keep it in the fairways, avoid the bunkers, and shadow roll some putts in.

Q. You won at Turnberry a number of years ago. Have you noticed the differences, Muirfield, Turnberry?

INBEE PARK: They're both very great golf courses, and I really do enjoy playing golf courses. I'd say Muirfield is a little bit more hills on the greens. It's a little bit smaller greens and probably a little more slopes on the greens. So just got to watch that.

Q. Was links golf love at fight sight for you?

INBEE PARK: That first few years I just struggled so much that it was such a different golf, and I didn't know if I was enjoying myself because it was always rainy, always windy, I was miserable. But then after a few years, I really started enjoying links golf, and it's just beautiful out here.

And this is once a year for us to play in a links golf style. So, yeah, I've became falling in love with it more and more. And it's definitely one of my favourite places to come and play.

Q. Possible retirement, that's always a kind of issue. A win like this, would that be a crowning glory, or would that galvanize you to keep going?

INBEE PARK: I think that will be a very good way to saying a farewell. I think it's definitely one of my dreams to do it. I know it's -- I still have a little bit left in me, so trying to keep that going for now.

Q. Your form the last couple of months hasn't been that great. What are you doing better this week that you haven't been doing?

INBEE PARK: Believe it or not, I've been striking the ball so well the last few -- just all year this year. But my putter has been just not good at all. A lot of three-putts and just missing every single opportunity on the green.

So I think just the putter was a little bit different this week.

Q. Unusual for you.

INBEE PARK: That's it. Yeah, everything is the same, same ball striking, same swing, everything. Just rolling a little more putts, maybe two or three more per day.

Q. Was that a technical thing?

INBEE PARK: No, nothing, I mean, I've changed a little bit, but nothing, nothing like major this week.

Q. You always said you enjoyed the UK breakfast. Is that still a thing, the sausages and the bacon?

INBEE PARK: I do, yeah. It's great.
