Q. Yealimi, great playing out there; 65 today. Got off to a hot start; 5-under through 7. Your short game on the back nine was absolutely superb.

YEALIMI NOH: Thank you. I got lucky on 4 or 5 with my second shot. Went way left and hit the cart path. It was 5. Hit the cart pats and got back on close to the green, like an inch from the green.

I started the birdie run there so that was nice.

Q. You were fourth in Shanghai a few weeks ago. Five top 20s in the last six starts. What's been the key to the consistent play?

YEALIMI NOH: My swing has just been coming back together. I was really struggling last year with everything, my shots and putting. My putting has gotten a lot better with the broomstick and my swing has really come around and hitting it back how I used to hit it.

Q. You're also one of few players that have played all four events on the Asian Swing. How much do you love playing in this region, specifically in front of these crowds?

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, Asia is amazing. I love coming back. It was hard to choose which ones not to go to. It's been a lot of travel and it's definitely been tiring and I'm running out of energy.

Playing in front of these crowds and being at this course has just given me more energy to get through it.
