Quick Quotes

Q. Sumin, another great round. You've been very consistent all week. Was that the plan for this week, to stay consistent?

SUMIN HONG: Wasn't actually planned before I played this tournament because when the practice round, during the practice round, as everyone feels the course is really tough, especially the green is undulated and strong wind and it's difficult to get wind from which direction to the other.

So I totally not expecting that I'm part of the one the leading player after the third round. So I'm more focused on my game and try to enjoy playing with my peers and the players on my group.

So that makes me my name on the -- you know, one of the leading leaderboard. I hope I can finish well tomorrow and also another round for enjoying.

Q. You'll be playing alongside Soomin, your teammate. Will that make you feel comfortable in the final round? Maybe not as nervous?

SUMIN HONG: I can't remember which day interview with you, I probably mentioned that I was like hoping to see some of my mate on the final round and the final group.

That actually happened, yeah. It gets me really excited right now, so definitely tomorrow it's more than happy to play with Soomin because we're so close and that makes me very comfortable and confident on the final round.

Q. And finally, how proud would you be to be the first Korean to win this tournament?

SUMIN HONG: I can't guarantee the feeling that right now I'm standing here because it is impossible to see the picture. So definitely if it happens tomorrow, I'm telling you with the trophy.
