Q. Congratulations on getting win No. 9. It was not easy today. I got to ask you, you had total control over your game on the front nine. I believe a five-shot lead through 10 and double bogey at 12. Take me through the self-talk and what you needed to do to stabilize and get your equilibrium back?

MINJEE LEE: I think I had a few moments where I was like I really felt like I was like losing but I wasn't. The score was we were pretty much tied.

But I was just like, let's just play until the end and see where it ends up. So I just didn't give up. I just played every shot to the best I could and then, you know, won the playoff, so it feels nice.

Q. You talked about having to sort of redo your goals and focus after such a big year last year, winning twice, a U.S. Women's Open. Where are you now with your career and what you hope to get out of not only this week, but the rest of the season?

MINJEE LEE: Yeah, I mean, my goal for the rest of the season was to finish well. Obviously CME is coming up and all the Asia events, so I really wanted to reset my goals. This event is my last one in the States until Tampa.

Yeah, just really wanted to finish off on a high and I got to win, so that's really nice. Resetting your goals is always hard after a really amazing year, so yeah, no, I feel like maybe I can reset well here and have a great Asia and CME.

Q. It was dramatic. Thrilling. Enjoy the champagne and win no, ma'am nine. Congratulations.
