Liberty National Golf Club

Quick Quotes


KYLIE CHONG: ... especially in the front nine it was so windy, and my drives weren't the best today. But I was able to scramble and get up and downs, so my worst scores today were bogeys. I still was able to get points, and, yeah.

Q. And just you had two bogeys early on in your round. Talk a little bit how you settled yourself down and locked in for the next 16.

KYLIE CHONG: I feel like I was a little bit confused on like the whole points system. I wasn't used to it early on but then I kind of figured it's just a normal tournament and I should just focused on my round and not about the results.

So I just stayed with my game and stayed patient.

Q. Is this your first time playing here?

KYLIE CHONG: Yes.

Q. What's it been like to experience Liberty National and playing alongside the pros?

KYLIE CHONG: Planning alongside the pros is such a good experience. I feel like just being here and hitting on the range next to the LPGA has already improved me.

I can already see changes in especially how I handle myself on the course. I'm a lot more patient and I can understand my mistakes a lot more.

Q. Anyone you've seen that caught your eye, oh, my gosh I'm hitting next to this person or eating next to this person?

KYLIE CHONG: Yeah, In Gee Chun was hitting range balls right in front of me and she was my idol since I was ten years old.

Q. That's awesome.

KYLIE CHONG: So I finally was able to get close.

Q. Anyone else you're hoping to see this week and chat with?

KYLIE CHONG: Nelly Korda and Rose Zhang, but I know Rose withdrew.

Q. Yeah, unfortunately. We were just talking to you about how you're committed or signed for USC to go play there. Just talk a little bit about some of the things you might miss in junior golf?

KYLIE CHONG: Just the friends I've made, especially the younger ones. I know I'll see them in collegiate golf in a couple years, so, yeah.
