YANG MEI, TAIWAN
THE MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome Rolex Rankings No. 1, Yani Tseng into the interview room. First off, welcome home. I'm sure it's always good to be home. Congratulations. A great round today. 5‑under par. Can you take me through your day and what was working well for you out there?
YANI TSENG: You know, I feel very good to be back in Taiwan and play the LPGA tournament here, especially I practice in Sunrise Golf Club here, like four, five years, so I know the course very well.
This morning I see so many fans out here, it make me so happy and relaxed. I know everybody is talking about the pressure this week, but I just try to ‑‑ when I see all the fans, I think that pressure is gone because I know doesn't matter how I play, they're still going to be there to give me 100 percent support. And I just want to show my big smile and show my best effort on every shot and do my best all the time.
I think I played great today. I feel really good. I hit good on my driving and my iron shot and I give myself lots of birdie opportunities out there.
THE MODERATOR: Take me through that stretch on the back. You had four birdies in a stretch of five holes. Did you just get hot at the right moment and everything seemed to be dropping for you?
YANI TSENG: Must be the bogey on No. 10 make me a little mad out there, because I've been really consistently and like all Front 9, and the Back 9 I make bogey on No. 10, and it was kind of ‑‑ I hit it good on every shot, but I still make bogey. But after that I feel let's make birdie chance, let's make a few birdies, and I did on No. 11, that was a great putt because I didn't putt well on the Front 9. Almost every hole I had a birdie chance and I only made two. So No. 11 hole I think is my turning point today to give myself making lots of birdies.
After 12 I see my niece. My mom just calling my name, and she brought the niece, and I saw her and just make me real happy. That must give me little different power to make three birdies in a row.
THE MODERATOR: And last week you finished third in Korea. It was your first Top 10 since back in May, I think it was. What did that do for your confidence level coming into this week.
YANI TSENG: I know it's been a long time. I didn't know it was that long. But I didn't think much because last month I've been playing very well. It doesn't matter it's Korea, because mean Malaysia I feel playing good too. So I know in Korea it gives you lots of confidence. I haven't been that close to winning a long time. Last week every drive, every shot I feel like I played like before. But now I just want to always looking forward. It doesn't matter how I play before, but now is the start every shot and I want to do my best and focus on every shot.
THE MODERATOR: Any other questions for Yani in English?
