Min Woo Lee

PGA National Champion Course

Quick Quotes

Q. Solid moving day. Talk about how the round went for you.

MIN WOO LEE: Yeah, very solid. There was probably like a couple times, a couple bogeys where -- it happens. I made a lot of putts today and hit it really good. I'm very proud of the way I hung in there and finished.

Q. You've made some cuts this season, but nothing super up high. How would you describe your season up to this point?

MIN WOO LEE: Yeah, I think I was a bit hard on myself. The first three tournaments, I haven't played those courses, and then I come to a course where I'm kind of comfortable and where I have been before. I wasn't overall happy with the first three tournaments, but there was a lot of good in there, too. There was just a few holes where it kind of got me out of the mix and I'd lose my head a little bit there.

But overall been not too bad.

Q. Why do you think you were hard on yourself? Was it how well you had played?

MIN WOO LEE: Yeah, I think just a bit of expectations. I think I'm a great player, and I feel like I could come out here and win. But sometimes that's not the reality. Coming 15th or 20th isn't actually that bad, and I told myself to just stick in there even though things might go the wrong way. A good finish might be the difference later on in the year.

Q. Looks like you might be three shots back or so heading into tomorrow. The way this course plays, how doable is that to come back from?

MIN WOO LEE: Yeah, I mean, it can definitely go the wrong way. It's a course where you could play really good and just shoot bad, and you can't really fake it around here. Hopefully you can hit some fairways and hit some good shots in and putt well.
