Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club

Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Mirabel Ting solid round to start your first pro start. Just talk about how it went out here.

MIRABEL TING: It was pretty great today. Got a little bit nervous like on the tee shot. Didn't know what to expect. But overall I think today's a really good day. Shooting 5-under on this challenging golf course is something that I would never thought I would be able to do it in front of a big crowd.

Q. How proud are you of your performance today.

MIRABEL TING: I'm really happy. There were a lot of shots left out there definitely and hopefully we will be able to recover well tomorrow again.

Q. So I would probably start with you had a really good first nine coming in with four birdies. After that there was a bogey and then two more birdies. Maybe talk about how you felt during the first nine and then coming back after that bogey.

MIRABEL TING: Yeah, I was actually pretty comfortable on the front nine. I wasn't really comfortable on the back nine actually, and that's why I had to do two times of practice from the back nine.

Was really, really comfortable starting on 1 and I was just keep telling myself, stay patient. Putts did not really drop after 10 and I was a little impatient I would say.

At the end of the day I think I got through it and I think I birdied 14 and 18 to finish.

Q. Maybe say what part of your game was really good, shined out there today.

MIRABEL TING: I would say my putting was better than I was expecting it to be. My iron shots definitely was giving myself a chance out there today.

Q. And on 18 you had such a crowd cheering for you. Talk about that.

MIRABEL TING: I was nervous. Actually I knew there was a lot people, but it was almost the exact amount of people (indiscernible) when I come back on 18.

But nervous, yeah, I was really happy, and to be able to be on this big stage.
