WASTE MANAGEMENT PHOENIX OPENJanuary 30, 2014Yong-Eun YangSCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA THE MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome Y.E. Yang to the interview room. Could you give us some opening comments about the round. Y.E. YANG: (Through translation.) It's been a while since I have had my name up on the leaderboard on the 18th hole, so this is coming to me as quite new. Practiced like any other day. A little bit cold in the morning, so I had to calculate my yardages accordingly. And past tournament I played fairly well, past three‑and‑a‑half rounds, so I was just trying to carry on what I did down at Torrey, and I think it trickled down towards today. THE MODERATOR: We'll open it up for some questions. Q. What would you say it is that you have been working on lately to bring from Torrey to here? Y.E. YANG: (Through translation.) I tried to force a lot of my swings and putting, was being a little bit too aggressive, trying too hard. So I eased up on everything. My putting has become a lot smoother, and my swing has become a lot more ‑‑I have increased actually my drawback of my swing. So I don't put that much effort. I just have a bigger swing now. Q. Is it hard not to get too aggressive in a tournament like this where 28‑under won last year and you have to go very low to win? Y.E. YANG: (Through translation.) I think you have to be aggressive. As you said, 28‑under, that's a very lofty target, four days. At the same time, you can't be too aggressive. I had that first‑time experience after my PGA win in 2010 where I shot a double on 17 and lost my chances to win. You have to really balance it out, but you still have to be a little bit more aggressive than other tournaments. Q. Could you just describe how the conditions were out there and whether 7‑under you think might hold up this afternoon? Y.E. YANG: (Through translation.) Well, I hope not (smiling). I think 8‑under can be attained if the wind stays calm. It wasn't that windy out there today. Apart from being a little bit cold, it wasn't severely altering our game, so I think if the weather holds, as it does throughout the afternoon, so far then I think maybe 8‑under.
