Quick Quotes

Q. Here now with Haeran Ryu after her second round at the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. Just a great round today. What was working so well for you?

HAERAN RYU: Today I think my shot is really good today, because after the start back nine my putt is a little bit bad, but before that nine, front nine holes really good putt and really good shots and I make a lot of birdies; five in a row.

Yeah, I like today.

Q. Talk about the stretch you had from No. 5 to No. 9. Birdies all the way through. What was working so well for you during that stretch?

HAERAN RYU: I think those holes birdie putts, everything is just very short. So today my iron shots really good that five holes. Yeah, that's a good five birdies.

Q. What is it about this course that maybe brings out some of your strengths?

HAERAN RYU: I mean, TPC golf course, every golf course -- I don't know another golf course but TPC Boston and here -- greens so firm and so small.

Yeah, my shot is too much spin and I can make some stop on the green. That is good for me, yeah.

Q. You had an eagle on 11 today.

HAERAN RYU: Yeah.

Q. Walk us through that eagle.

HAERAN RYU: My driver, that hole my driver is a little go to right; my second shot is the first cut in the rough. That distance is 173 meters, so I got 4-iron.

But I just wanted to try to on the green, but that hole short is better than over the green, so I hit 4-iron and I think it's really good.

Martin don't see my ball, I can't see my ball, too. We walk to the green and we surprised what happens there my caddie said to me. Yeah, I just thank for the God.

Q. So you hit your third shot, holed out on your third shot?

HAERAN RYU: No, my second shot is going one meter to the hole, so, yeah.

Q. Easy eagle.

HAERAN RYU: Yeah, easy.

Q. Length seem to be a benefit on this golf course. For you being a far hitter, did that help you today with some shorter irons in a little bit?

HAERAN RYU: Yeah, because 9 hole yesterday my ball in the hazard so I got a bogey. Today I reminded that shot and I wanted to get one more longer club and soft shot and that is good thing.

Yeah, maybe tomorrow and two more rounds I try the same thing at that hole.

Q. You got that win at FM, which is something that you really wanted. Now that you got the second win out of the way do you feel more free? Golf feel a little bit easier?

HAERAN RYU: I felt more free because before the Boston I has a lot of chance but I missed the win. Finally I got the winning cup at the Boston and I felt more free. Yeah, I feel more free, more comfortable with my shots and my golf.
