Quick Quotes

Q. All right, I'm here with Minjee Lee after round one to the Kroger Queen City Championship. Great round today; bogey-free. Can you walk us through those five birdies out there?

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I started really well. I had three birdies off the bat, so 1, 2, 3, so it was really nice to have a fast start.

Made one more on the front and then one more on the back, so, yeah, it was pretty steady, pretty solid all day.

Q. Last time you were in Ohio at the Dana Open you played very well. What is it about Ohio maybe that leads to great golf for you?

MINJEE LEE: I just really enjoy playing the courses. I think it really suits my eye, and, yeah, no, I've played well at Dana, and hopefully I can finish well here.

Q. You said it suits your eye. Is there something specific about the layout or the conditions of the course?

MINJEE LEE: I really enjoy putting on fast surfaces, so the condition of the greens have been really good. I think it's starting to get a little bouncy out there so nice, hard, and fast is really always good.

The course is just in really great condition. We didn't really get to play the course like it should have been. Last year it was really wet, so I think they have the course in such great condition and it's just really fun to play.
