Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Mi Hyang after the final round of the Ford Championship. Can you just talk about this week as a whole for you and what it's been like here to the Ford Championship?

MI HYANG LEE: So first of all, normally just play really well in the Arizona. I really love the Arizona state as well. And then I really love -- it's not links, but pretty flat and all the trees are lower, so it's pretty comfortable to me with the tee shot and everything.

Then my ball flight is pretty low as well as my driver distance is like longer than my normal distance as well. So that's a lot of help and easy to play as well.

But my putter -- my putt was really hot this week and I think that's why I made a lot of birdie, yeah.

Q. And can you talk specifically about today's round and what you kind of saw?

MI HYANG LEE: Sure. So actually today's my birthday, so...

Q. Happy birthday.

MI HYANG LEE: Thank you. For sure I think I have a lot of birthday luck for sure. I really have to make seven birdie. Yeah, little sad for to make one bogey on No. 16, but it was a little bad luck for me.

But I'm glad to finish birdie on 17 and par on 18 as well.

Just playing with Stephanie was -- I mean, she was playing great. She make eagle No. 2 as well, so it was really fun to play with on my birthday. Like pretty much always be on my birthday on this week in Arizona, the tournament, right, even last year as well.

So glad to really look forward to playing next year as well.

Q. Did you get any fun messages for your birthday from any players?

MI HYANG LEE: So a lot of players just say happy birthday to me this morning. Yeah, was really happy to like playing on birthday.

Q. Yeah. Awesome. And then next week you're heading to match play. Can you just talk about the switch? You obviously hopefully got some momentum from this week. How do you switch that into match play?

MI HYANG LEE: So first thing is I have to be aggressive, right? And my caddie, Chad, he really likes that format, the match play, so may be he can help me a lot.

Yeah, I look forward to make a lot of birdie and just if I lose a hole just one hole lose, so maybe more simple and play more faster.
