Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Jin Hee after her first round at the Ford Championship. Great score to start this event. What went well for you today out there?

JIN HEE IM: Yeah, probably in the front nine everything is well and mostly driver is pretty well, going really straight and go far. But, yeah, and made many putt.

But maybe last few holes driver didn't work. I don't know why, but it's probably good day.

Q. Yeah. And you had several birdies on the front nine. You said your putting went really well. Was that something you worked on when you got here? Was it the speed you had to adjust to of the greens or the firmness?

JIN HEE IM: I mean, at the first hole give me some luck so I had driver really well and going really far.

But I just have 80 meter, but I pure (?) It and go away, that 15 stop, but I made it. That is turning point to make that good rhythm, so I made a lot of birdie after that.

Q. That's awesome. What do you like most about this course? You mentioned your driver going pretty straight, pretty far all day, but it's very intimidating to see how this course is set up.

JIN HEE IM: Yeah, I really like this course, but I can see my landing area, I can see all course. The course is really far, I mean hard. They made really going far, so if I hitting to drive it can make some more chance to make easy.

So I like this course.

Q. That's good. And how much do you think you'll have to adjust for tomorrow's afternoon round?

JIN HEE IM: So normally afternoon is make strong wind, but this week I don't think that wind, not meaning the wind this week.

So I think this course more harder and more going more low, so that -- I need to think about that landing area to same or do different area. That's most important things tomorrow I think.
