Q. All right, I'm here with Janet at the LPGA Drive On Championship. Solid round out there today. 2-under 69. Walk me through your round.

XIYU LIN: It's a bit of a rollercoaster round. I haven't had that many bogeys and birdies and doubles and everything, and I actually had two eagle chances, so I really wish to make one of them. Then I really have all the scores on my scorecard. Unfortunately I missed both of them.

But I think overall it's a really good round. I was definitely rusty, especially the front nine, and I think I handle myself really well, make some good putts.

It's as you nice to start off the year with under-par round.

Q. You had some exciting news come in and out your off-season. How excited are you for your future?

XIYU LIN: Yeah, I think this year I feel really special. I mean, even this week, still not very used to it yet. People just keep like congratulating me about the engagement. I'm little shy.

But I think overall, this year obviously going to be very exciting. I think as a golfer, there is lots of big events coming up, including Olympics. As a person, I also like really look forward to the next step.

I really hope I can balance it well and do well on both sides.
