Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Peiyun. Hey, that was a fun little ace there on 16. Tell me about that golf shot.

PEIYUN CHIEN: 16 I know if I hit normal shot with draw it's not -- I don't have chance to stay on the green, so I tried to hit a fade and use the slope.

It looks like stay on the top and just keep a little bit more, move, move, and it's finally roll down and get in and everybody, just, yeah.

Q. What club did you hit?

PEIYUN CHIEN: 8-iron. Try to hit fade.

Q. How many hole-in-ones have you had in your life and how many on tour?

PEIYUN CHIEN: This is the first one.

Q. Ever?

PEIYUN CHIEN: When I turn pro. Yeah, so already 13 years no hole-in-one in my life, so I'm so happy.

Q. First hole-in-one as a professional?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yes. I have three before I turn pro.

Q. So with that hole-in-one, I know you know CME Group does the campaign and donates $20,000 to St. Jude's Research Hospital. To hear that, what does that mean?

So in Taiwan I always donate for the stray dogs and a lot of things, like how do you say?

Q. Charity?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Yes. That's good news to me.

Q. And last one from me: What are you going to do to celebrate? That's a great day, great thing to do. I know the champagne might be flowing later.
