BLUE BAY LPGAOctober 29, 2015Jane ParkHainan Island, China Q. 2-under is way up there on the leaderboard. Is it tough conditions? What was going on? JANE PARK: I think I hit four or five greens today because it was -- you have a three-yard landing area to get perfect, and that's pretty hard to do. The greens are hard, like very rock-hard, so you can't really hit it close. Kind of have to strike bombs. Q. And then coming into this week, was it a question mark? JANE PARK: Yes. Q. Withdrew in Korea? How many holes did you get done? JANE PARK: I withdrew after 54 holes. Woke up with what I thought was an ingrown toenail but the next morning it was ten times worse and I thought, yeah, this is not really an ingrown toenail. It's like a staph infection. Q. It was from a pedicure? JANE PARK: No, it was just from something -- I have no -- they couldn't identify what was the problem but it was definitely a staph infection. Q. So they got a nurse? JANE PARK: In Korea. Q. And were you going to go to Taiwan? JANE PARK: After I saw the doctor on Saturday, they said, do not go to Taiwan. It's pretty bad. I couldn't put a shoe on for a week. Q. Were you planning on going? JANE PARK: I was going to go. I actually have an aunt that lives in Korea, so I stayed with her. I stayed with her in Korea. I was in the hospital for a week getting three shots of antibiotics a day. It just turned -- it went from like 1 to like 10 overnight. Just the severity of it and how fast it came on, I knew it was not just an ingrown toenail. Q. Lucky your aunt was there. JANE PARK: Yes, it was a blessing it happened in Korea, because if I was anywhere else, I would have had to have flown home. Q. So obviously went down, no pain? JANE PARK: Yes, it was about six days into treatment, I finally felt like I could put weight on my foot. I had to keep it elevated. Q. So when did you decide when it was good enough to say, I'm going to go try this out? JANE PARK: The doc said, even before I started treatment, he said, "You'll be able to play next week." But you just have to make sure I had it in cast and had it elevated. I was pretty much ordered on bed rest. It was torture. I mean, for anyone, being on bed rest is awful, and let alone for being so active all the time is tortuous. Q. Did you practice in Korea? JANE PARK: No. I left my clubs at the Hyatt just in storage. I knew I wasn't going to do anything for the week. Didn't touch a club. Q. So you just came straight here? JANE PARK: Yeah. Q. Did you come here last year? JANE PARK: No. It's my first time here. It's breathtaking. Q. Did you walk the course at all? JANE PARK: I played 18 on Tuesday. Q. And you thought the course suited your game? It's kind of long. JANE PARK: It's long, and I don't hit it very far but I tend to really grind it out very well. I do well when you need to make a lot of pars. It looks like the conditions are really tough, and they were tough for me, too, as well. I was lucky enough to make a lot of putts today. Q. Closing stretch of this year, you're into CME. Goals? JANE PARK: Well, one of my goals at the beginning of the year was to make Lorena, which I did. Honestly, it's been like an up-and-down year, but just to maybe end on a good note and get some confidence going into next year. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
