Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Hae Ran Ryu after her first round at the Cognizant Founders Cup. Take us through some of the best parts of your round today.

HAE RAN RYU: On the first round I was a little bit worried when I started because fairway is really narrow here, but I think I change my mind, use the rough as comfort as possible, so after that my score is getting better.

Q. You had a lot of birdies today. Any birdies in particular stand out that you remember?

HAE RAN RYU: On 12 I got a birdie, and after that I make four in a row birdies. Before I was a little bit struggle, but then I got a birdie on the 12th and then I'm making my good mood.

Q. You're a rookie. You've been playing really well. What's your comfort level like now compared to the beginning of the year? Do you feel more confident, better?

HAE RAN RYU: At the very first time I have a really low confidence and I'm always draw a question mark myself, I can do my best or I can do it well.

But after the tournament and after the rounds I'm getting more confidence at the tour, and from now, I'm really doing well I think.
