MODERATOR: We have Mi Hyun Kim here in the interview room, 2 under par, 69 today. Let's go to your score card first. Birdie at the 12th.
MI HYUN KIM: 187 yards, like two hybrid iron, like twelve feet. MODERATOR: Then you got on a roll birdieing four in a row starting at 16. MI HYUN KIM: 6 iron, one foot. 17, 120 yards, 9 iron, one foot. 18, like 45 yards sand wedge, ten feet. MODERATOR: At No. 1. MI HYUN KIM: 70 yards, mid edge, like twelve feet. MODERATOR: Bogey at No. 4. MI HYUN KIM: 193 yards, 2 iron inside the bunker, I chipped out and then like six feet. MODERATOR: Double bogey on 8. MI HYUN KIM: My driver was on the left side of the rough; hit the green; then it kicked right in the bunker. I hit bunker shot six foot. MODERATOR: 2 under par right now is one of the better rounds out of the morning. Talk a little bit about how you feel about your round. I know you are disappointed with the double bogey. MI HYUN KIM: First nine holes I was like feeling very comfortable with my swing and my short game I missed like four feet putt, five feet putt, like a couple of missed the putts like 13, 14. 13th hole, 14th hole, I just missed like five feet, maybe. So but I am still comfortable with my swing, so I just I feel very confident after the back nine make birdie at the No. 1, but I my group is very smooth, some official came to there and they just check the time and they want to push a little bit faster, so my and then official came to us and went to the timing, so I just keep move faster, faster; then I lose my rhythm. I just pulled No. 4 shot, No. 4 tee shot I just pulled it and then I lose my rhythm, I lose my swing and then after that make bogey and double bogey. I am still happy. MODERATOR: Questions. Q. Did they specifically say who was a slow player or MI HYUN KIM: No, not really like that. Q. The group was slow? MI HYUN KIM: Yeah, a little bit forced to par 5 someone tried 2 shot on the green and someone hit lay up and you know, I just No.8 wait. 18th hole, we just wait two shot on the green because front of us they still on the green so we wait a long time and then even No. 1, second shot we have a long time we wait a long time. But after two holes they just keep fast. A little bit changes the rhythm. Q. Was it windy out there, did it make picking which club to hit, did you have to think about it a little more? MI HYUN KIM: No, wind is not really big, but sometimes left to right and then they switch to right to left. A little bit of confusion, but okay. Q. How is the course in terms of firmness and speed of the greens? MI HYUN KIM: Greens a little bit speedy, a little faster than looks like it. Greens shape is so good. I think best of the year of this Tour. Green looks good, fairway looks good, but a little bit faster than looks like. MODERATOR: Thank you. Good luck. MI HYUN KIM: Thank you. End of FastScripts.
