MI HYUN KIM: It was disappointing, but I should have make the putt to stay in the lead. But I still have three days left over.

MI HYUN KIM: Last week I was feeling very good -- last week, graeen was very fast, but this week, greens are a little bit slow. However, the condition of greens, they are good. Putting -- I miss (inaudible) -- I have good feeling.

MI HYUN KIM: This year, my schedule is -- I have one week off because of Solheim Cup and then I (inaudible) go to Korea for three weeks. I committed with other tournaments that I would be playing. It is my obligation to play in Korea, to help LPGA there. Last year why I missed was same thing like this year, beginning of the year, I didn't know that I was going to win because I was rookie. I didn't know what was going to happen. But the beginning of the year, I made a commitment to play Korea's tournaments; that I would be playing their tournaments. But this year, since I won twice, I didn't make any commitment -- but I have to still play in Korea because of fans and the Korean media and Korean golf. I'm playing a few tournaments straight in Korea. Then I come back and play Arch and go back to Korea in December to play Korea/Japan Cup. It is like Solheim Cup. I played last year and I represent Korea.

MI HYUN KIM: When I won for the first time, the feeling was really strange because I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to expect. But I was very happy to win a tournament last year, but this year, I was anxious to win a tournament because I wasn't -- on the edge of winning a tournament a couple times, but I didn't make it to win. So I was very anxious to win a tournament. And when I won it finally, I was relieved and felt very good and then I have more confidence that I can win more tournaments later in the year.
