Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, Jiyai, can you take me through your round today? Really good 7-under. You were so close to the top of the leaderboard. How are you feeling after the final day?

JIYAI SHIN: Actually my goal was 10-under. A little bit not enough, but, well, finally we had a little bit of wind today. That's why the course make a little bit tough.

But actually I -- before start this morning I'm sponsor, my sponsor from this club, so I think, okay, I have only 18 holes so I have to do my best. I know that everyone is cheer up for me, so it works. Yeah, this is not only -- it's only not by myself, it make from everyone.

Q. Can you tell me about your hole-out from the fairway there on 7?

JIYAI SHIN: Yeah, it was 77 yards to the pin and I hole 54 degree wedges, and then like five, six years ago, I have exactly same distance and I finishing from the fairway as well, so I think maybe, maybe. I have a good memory and I have a good number. Maybe I have a chance. But it's in, so it make really surprise.

But golf is never know.

Q. Awesome. Last question: How much do you enjoy these joint events, getting to play on both the JLPGA and LPGA?

JIYAI SHIN: Well, only one LPGA event in Japan so everyone waiting this event. A lot of younger Japanese golfers look forward to playing LPGA, so that's why they waiting more.

And also even Japan want to showing they are hospitality and they are manage (indiscernible), and they are passion, too.

So I think, yeah, it works very well this week and then I hope everyone enjoy.
