Quick Quotes

Q. Joined now by Mi Hyang Lee after her first round here at the CME Group Tour Championship. Got off to a slow start with the bogey there, but quickly, quickly made up for it. Just take us through the round today.

MI HYANG LEE: So, yeah, it was a great up and down my first hole. I was four on and one putt for par-5, so was a little stress start.

And second and third hole I missed the fairway but it was a great up and down as well.

And also, I was a little stressful as No. 5. I just three-putted there. Was easy putt, like made it three-putt there.

But it was a great bounceback on No. 6; almost make eagle.

Then I think my golf get a little turning point from there. Back nine is really refresh to start, and start birdie No. 10 and great 14 and 15 and 17.

So it was a little stress start, but everything is good at the end.

Q. How does this course bring out some of your strengths and what is still maybe a little tricky out there?

MI HYANG LEE: It was a little windy today, so I tried just keep the fairway first, because landing area is pretty narrow I think.

Also, I think I never played well this golf course, so I just tried to be more humble about myself and try to make more one shot at a time. Just tried to make birdie the par-5, make the more simple, and then I think it was work.

Q. We saw you towards the top of the leaderboard a little bit last week as well at The ANNIKA. What part of your game is working really well for you right now?

MI HYANG LEE: I think my up and down is more better, so maybe less bogey and more birdie I think.

Q. And then last one: What will you take away from this round heading into tomorrow?

MI HYANG LEE: So I think first four holes really important for the keep, like make the par there, so I want to more -- trying to more keep the fairway tomorrow, and then also maybe no three putts as well.

Just same as today.
