U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

July 22, 2016

Wei Wei Gao

Ooltewah, Tennessee

Q. Wei Wei, great week for to you get to the quarterfinals.
WEI WEI GAO: Yeah.

Q. How do you look at it?
WEI WEI GAO: Like I see like I could have done a bit better because on 15 I missed a short par putt. Wait, sorry. 15 I hit it in the hazard on the left side because I -- yeah, it was really bad shot.

On the next hole, 16, I hit a good tee shot on the green and then 3-putted it. Yeah. I hit it too hard over the hole. My second putt just u-turned on the hole.

Q. And you made a birdie on 17, but he also...
WEI WEI GAO: He also birdied it.

Q. Yeah. How far was the putt on 17?
WEI WEI GAO: It was like five feet. Yeah, he putted first; went in. Then I play next and also went in.

Q. Did you feel confident when you got off to a good start being 2-up after six holes?
WEI WEI GAO: Yeah, I felt kind of confident. Like I just wanted to stick to my process when I was up by two, then like he was also playing really well.

Yeah.

Q. What impressed you about him?
WEI WEI GAO: Like he doesn't really get nervous. Like when I got a birdie, he just remains calm. When he gets a birdie also, I don't really react to it.

Yeah.

Q. Go back to you. First USGA championship. Was it everything you thought it would be?
WEI WEI GAO: Yeah, it's a really nice course and greens are really fast and stuff like that.

Yeah.

Q. What will this do for you in the future, do you think?
WEI WEI GAO: This made me a better player. Like I experienced like people watching me. It's a really nice course.

Q. Do you think you'll come to the United States more?
WEI WEI GAO: Yeah, I will. And I'm going to win more tournaments.

Q. All right. Good luck.
WEI WEI GAO: Thank you.
