And this weekend was kind of windy, so I had to make, I was trying to make a lot of pars and give us some chances on the, you know, around the green. But, yeah, I'm very pleased to be finished this close.

Q. What were the playing conditions like? Obviously much more windy today, was it a lot harder today because of the wind?

MI HYUN KIM: Yeah, this morning was really windy. And the scores, I thought the scores were going to be low, I mean high today.

But Inbee played very steady golf all day. She was behind our group, so I tried my best and.

Q. Are you surprised at how well she was able to play in these conditions?

MI HYUN KIM: I mean, I -- we're good friends, so we know each other very well, we compete at a lot of junior tournaments too, so she has like a high ball flight so I knew. We played a practice round together, so we knew that she's going to play well and I'll try my best. And I mean she did an awesome job, you know. I don't think she made any bogeys until the 17th. So I'm very proud of her.

Q. Could you talk about the top three finish in the Women's Open, what that means to you?

MI HYUN KIM: Oh, it means a lot to me because I always look up to the best players win the Majors and I'm very happy. I learn so much things with playing with the wind and the greens and everything. So I'm very happy with that.
