U.S. GIRLS' JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP


July 22, 2016


Andrea Lee


Paramus, New Jersey

Q. You got off to a pretty good start, and you won two holes in the first five or so. What enabled you to get off to that fast start?
ANDREA LEE: You know, I was just playing my own game. I wasn't trying to think of what Waverly was doing. I was 2 up on her early but then she got it back to all square through 9. But I wasn't trying to think about the score too much and just focused on what I was doing, and it turned out well.

Q. You mentioned the two holes that you lost there to even things up. Was she just did she get into a zone there or did you kind of relax and get too comfortable?
ANDREA LEE: No, I think I made a couple of mistakes. On the par 5 they put the tees up on No. 7, and I put my second shot in the bunker and the pin was placed on the left, which was not the best place to be, so I ended up parring and she managed to make a birdie.

And then on No. 8, the par 3, we both pulled our shots into the bunker, and she got up and down but I couldn't. I was like a little bit frustrated there but not too much. Just tried to keep playing my own game and focus on what I was doing.

Q. You rebounded well, birdieing three of the last five or six holes or so. What happened there? Talk about that.
ANDREA LEE: Yeah, you know, I really took advantage of the par 5s and my short wedge shots. They put the tees up on No. 11, so I had about a 55 yard shot into the green, stuck it and made birdie, and then next hole same thing, I had about 65 yards and stuck it again, made that.

Then just kept doing what I was doing, and then on No. 14, we actually both were over the green, and she chipped it close and I had like 30, 25 feet off the green for par, and I actually made it, which was incredible. It was really a moment to remember for sure.

Q. You play Hye Jin in the semifinals. Do you know her very well? Have you played against her before?
ANDREA LEE: No, I just met her this week, actually. One of my good friends, Eun Jeong, she knows her, so I managed to meet her through her, and she's playing really good golf. She's the No. 1 seed, but just not going to try and think about what she's doing hopefully, and we'll see how it goes.
