Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Robyn Choi after the second round of Q-Series. Solid round today; bogey-free. What do you think stood out in your game today?

ROBYN CHOI: I think I just kept patient. Patience was the key today. I was kind of getting frustrated after my nine, so I was just going par all nine holes, and I know out here you kind of need to make a lot of birdies.

But, no, I was able to control myself and just be patient and wait for my birdie opportunities, and I think as soon as that first birdie came on 11, it just kind of just rolled.

Q. And did you feel like you were kind of grinding for some of the pars on the front nine? Were you more disappointed?

ROBYN CHOI: No, I wasn't hitting it terrible. I just wasn't hitting it close enough to make a birdie. So it was just an average like driver, fairway, on the green, two-putt.

But, you know, it's just hard when you know you have to shoot birdies but it doesn't come to you.

Q. Yes. And so are there any specific thoughts you're thinking of when you're trying to stay patient?

ROBYN CHOI: No, not really. Like, I mean, it's just I think I just like talk to myself I guess. Talk to myself a lot. Okay, like Robyn, you have to keep calm. There are a lot of holes left. Just a lot of self-talking, and just the main thing is trying not to get frustrated over pars I guess.

I think as soon as I get frustrated and angry, that's when something goes wrong and birdie turns into a bogey.

Q. Is that something that you kind of thought of heading into the week considering the fact you could have six rounds in consecutive days?

ROBYN CHOI: Yeah, I mean, playing consistent I think is the key out here, just good rounds consistently throughout the six rounds.

But, I mean, I don't really have like a set plan going into the six rounds. Just do my best and hope for the best and hopefully the scores will come.

Q. Were at the end of 2023 here, end of the season; how would you describe your season as a whole? Any highlights that stick out in your mind?

ROBYN CHOI: I think just making every single cut on Epson. That was pretty big for a confidence boost for me.

But I think just over the past few years just looking back to where I am now, I can just see a huge improvement compared to when I just came out of college and playing on tour.

So I think that's just a huge plus.

Q. And anything you did that helped in your transition from college to professional golf?

ROBYN CHOI: I think I just had like a lot of good team support around me. Just good coaches, psychologists, Cincy coach, and I think -- I mean, I didn't see like a drastic improvement like when I look back every year, but when I look back now to five years ago I can see the big jumps.

I think it's just like the little one percenters that build up.

Q. This might be a bigger question, but if you were to go back and tell Robyn then that was leaving college, what would you tell her?

ROBYN CHOI: Probably just enjoy what you have to go through. I think at the time it's tough because definitely had a lot of opportunities to get back on the LPGA, but missed it.

But it's just I think just a journey for me honestly. If I didn't see myself improve over the years I think it would have been a little bit upsetting, but because I do see it, I can say it's a journey now.
