Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Ruixin after her first round at the Maybank Championship. Solid round to start this event. Just talk about how it went out there.

RUIXIN LIU: You know, my swing was great today. I didn't miss any of my driver or 3-wood off the tee. Just extremely hot out there, so the last few holes it's tough for me to stay the same. So I think that's the reason why I bogeyed the last one.

Q. Talk about this stretch of events, the fall Asia Swing. How much do you enjoy coming over here?

RUIXIN LIU: For me it's like my first ever fall Asia Swing so I'm just trying to enjoy everything, enjoying the food, different city.

Climate change is a little bit hard for me especially last week was extremely cold. I don't have any expectation this week. Just try to finish my round because it's just so hot.

Q. And talk about just the patience of this stretch of golf, too. It's a lot of golf. Like you're saying, no cuts; four rounds every week. How do you stay patient?

RUIXIN LIU: I don't want to set any goals for scores or any result. Just try to have a good time with John out there.

Q. Do you think that's always been something that you try to do in your golf?

RUIXIN LIU: Yeah, I mean, I think mentally I'm very loose and I will say I'm very low-key person.

So I think that that really helps sometimes.

Q. What are you looking forward to most out here playing this week?

RUIXIN LIU: There is a lot of good food out here and there is actually a lot of Chinese fan. They say hi to me and I think that really cheer me up a lot, so I'm really enjoying this week so far.
