Sophie Han

Quick Quotes

Q. Can you just talk us through your round today.

SOPHIE HAN: I didn't make that much birdies the first two days, but I'm really proud of myself. I didn't quit in the middle of the game because I was so tired, like physically tired, but I pulled through mentally, so it was really good.

I think the most impressive birdies of today are the first three holes, and I made back-to-back birdies on 2 and 3. Those were two really good birdies, and it got the momentum in the first few holes. That was really good.

Q. What was working?

SOPHIE HAN: My iron shots definitely and my putting. Even though I made two three-putts in the last five holes, but it was still really great. I've been working really hard on my putting, and the feeling is back.

Q. What happened on 16? You seemed to have had a bit of leg trouble.

SOPHIE HAN: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe a cramp on the leg. I didn't stretch it out or I don't know. I think that's the part I have to work on next. Just work out more and do more fitness.

Q. What are you going to take away from this week?

SOPHIE HAN: This is a really good feeling right now, so I don't know what to take away, but it's a really good round. If I can keep that momentum and get the putting feeling. It was really good.

Q. Has your result this week motivated you to keep going and keep pushing?

SOPHIE HAN: Definitely, definitely. This is probably the best score I've ever played, not just precision, but also the score. 6-under for four days is really good.

Q. What's next for you?

SOPHIE HAN: I will go back to school and study for work. I think the next tournament is coming up in May, and I'm going to play in the Philippines, and it's a junior tournament.

Q. Any lasting memories from this week that you can share with us on or off the golf course?

SOPHIE HAN: I can't remember now. I'm just too excited. I think everything just -- the first two days, 4-under, co-leader, that's all good memories. I'm going to take that to the next tournament.

Q. Will we be seeing you back here next year?

SOPHIE HAN: Yeah, definitely.
