Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Hye-Jin after her second round at the Evian Championship. Second round completed; near the top of the leaderboard. Really moved up with the second round score. Talk about how it felt out there.

HYE JIN CHOI: It was my duty to play nine holes left because yesterday I finished nine holes. But I think that it was very important to get ready to play.

And the green speed was different from yesterday and today so I think it was the point to play today, yes.

Q. And did you complete No. 9 before the suspension of play? Still on No. 9?

HYE JIN CHOI: Yeah, No. 9 green.

Q. No. 9 green. So I saw you had a bogey on 9. I know it's a tough start to the back of the day, but how do you jump back for the last nine? You really moved up the leaderboard.

HYE JIN CHOI: Yeah, I start No. 9 green but it was like 15 yard putt, but I thought a little bit of slow yesterday so I hit it too hard so I left like three, four yards, so I make the three putt and bogey.

And then, yeah, I start not really great today, but I try to patient and it's work, yeah.

Q. Was there anything you were telling yourself heading into today to kind of get back?

HYE JIN CHOI: Yeah, I do.

Q. Any talks with your caddie or your coach or anything like that, specifically what you were trying to aim to do today coming back?

HYE JIN CHOI: Yeah, he said -- I had par No. 10. I missed green and make like four yard putt, and so he said, yeah, you have to patient. So I try, I try, and then I make long putt (indiscernible), and then it's really good.

Q. Nice. And talk a little bit about your thought process in between this short break we have before starting the third round.

HYE JIN CHOI: Yeah, so I have second breakfast, and, yeah, I take a little bit naps and then keep going.

Q. Is there anything about the golf course specifically? The greens or the fairways? Do you think they suit your game in any way?

Q. That always helps.
