Flash Interview

Q. Hyo Joo Kim, 1-over 73 today. Can you talk us through your round?

HYO JOO KIM: Well, today's game, I made some mistakes. I had a birdie, but I think I just learned to be more patient.

Q. How hard is the golf course from holes 8 through the finish, through 18?

HYO JOO KIM: I think today was the windiest day of all, so it was quite difficult. It was quite challenging. It was different with my aggressiveness with tee shots, and then also it was difficult for me to select which club to play with.

Q. You're only a few shots off the lead. What is it going to take tomorrow to go and win your second major championship?

HYO JOO KIM: Well, I have to have a much better score than other players, for starters. I need to be able to make up for mistakes tomorrow, so making sure that I don't make any mistakes tomorrow.

It's a major course, so every shot is important, so I have to focus tomorrow.

Q. You are a major champion, so how are you going to draw on that experience tomorrow?

HYO JOO KIM: Well, I just hope that my experience will enable me to play better tomorrow. I hope tomorrow's game will come out the way that I expected and I hoped and I practiced.
