TANAH MERAH, SINGAPORE
Q. Tell us about your round today.
CHIE ARIMURA: Today was my first round of golf this year and I felt really nervous. I knew I had prepared well and practised hard on my putting. I am very happy to play here again and had a good round. It has been a great day for me.
Q. You had a bogey at 17th hole. How do you feel about it?
CHIE ARIMURA: Among the 18 holes I only missed out on this one today. It is a shame but I have tried, there is nothing much I can do about it. I did well in other places especially my putting so I have no regret.
Q. How are you going to play the course tomorrow?
CHIE ARIMURA: When I first played in events on the LPGA Tour in America, I was very eager to win and I felt nervous every time I played. But now I work hard and practice a lot, so I will focus on playing my game in order to play well tomorrow and get good results.
Q. Do you have any secret to play well at this course?
CHIE ARIMURA: I don't have any secret.
Q. Tell us more about yourself.
