Q. I am with the player who is at the top of the leaderboard, A Lim Kim. Good finish today. How important was that going into tomorrow?

A LIM KIM: Wind because this course really very strong, and then (indiscernible) and then made a putt. That's it.

Q. It was an eventful day. You made a hole-in-one today. Talk us through that. What were you trying to do on that shot?

A LIM KIM: Honestly, I got a bit lucky because I can do birdie, I can make birdie; 99% lucky.

Q. You were trying to make it though. It's not always about luck. In the U.S. you have to buy drinks if you make a hole-in-one. Is that the same in Korea? What are you going to do to celebrate?

A LIM KIM: Same thing. After the round I buy food or dinner. Honestly I don't like drink. But mostly I bought food, yeah.

Q. So it'll be a good time for your friends because they're going to get a free dinner. As you look ahead to tomorrow, what do you take from past experiences that you will use tomorrow to try and win? How will you try to do it?

A LIM KIM: Every tournament I think same: Focus on my line and then hit it. That's it. Any result, I don't care.
