Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Yuka Saso. You did something that not a lot of the people ever do. You had an albatross today. Tell me about that golf shot and what was your reaction.

YUKA SASO: So I had 220 to the flag and hit a hybrid. Hit a really good shot, very online with the flag.

I mean, we didn't really know where it landed and where it finishes, so we were just walking to the green and everyone started clapping. But my ball wasn't on the green so I was like, why are they clapping? Is it over? Why is everyone clapping if it's not on the green?

Then Sei Young was walking around also and she looked down and she said it's in, the ball was in, so that's how I found out.

Q. Have you ever made an albatross before?

YUKA SASO: No, no, first time. I mean, it was one of my dream to get one, but we all now how hard it is to get one.

They say you're lucky if you ever get one in your golf career. I guess I was very lucky to have it.

Q. I saw you watching the shot with Hinako's as manager. Were you watching the shot on Golf Channel?

YUKA SASO: Yeah. We were watching it. It was good. Shots were really good. Distance was good. Speed was good. So, yes, it was really good shot.
