U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP


July 22, 2016


Eugene Hong


Ooltewah, Tennessee

Q. He had a 3-up lead on you and you really made him earn it; you didn't give up. Does it help you knowing that, that you fought until the end?
EUGENE HONG: Yeah, Min Woo played really good. Like he made like chip-in on two and he was making 30-foot putts. He was just playing really good golf and he really deserved to win. I tried my best, but I was a little short.

There was nothing I could do. Min Woo played really good. He did a really good shot in the semifinal.

Q. And he hit some really great shots on a couple holes there. Those are things out of your control, and you seemed to handle that well and just kept grinding.
EUGENE HONG: Yeah. Yeah, I just tried to keep on trying my best, because like I can't control what he does. Like if he plays good and beats me, there is nothing I can do.

I just tried, but in the end I was a little short. It's okay, because like making the semifinals two years in a row was a big accomplishment for me. I didn't expect to make it this far, but I'm really thankful to finish again in the semifinals for the second year in a row.

Q. Does this take your confidence to another level having reached this two years in a row?
EUGENE HONG: Yes. I learned a lot this week. I had a lot of fun out here. It was really tough and the course was a good challenge, so I had a lot of fun out here this week and learned a lot. I hope that it helps my game.
