U.S. WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP


August 4, 2016


Eun Jeong Seong


Springfield, Pennsylvania

Q. You just played Hye-Jin. Was it weird playing against her because you're such good friends?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah, we are good friends. We are best friends in Korea. Like seven years, six years we're playing both together, and we play in tournaments. Today on the 4th hole she had a birdie, but I putted after Andrea, but I had a little bit of pressure. That's why hole No. 1 and 2 I cannot stroke the putter right. I can't stroke, yeah.

Q. Why was that?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Just pressure.

Q. Just the first two holes, though, the pressure?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. It doesn't stay on you for the rest of the way?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. Why didn't you feel pressure on like the fifth hole?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Because it plays like a mind game. But I think if I don't know the player style or her ranking, I can play my play. But I know her. I really know her. That's why I can't -- I know she's a good player, and that's why I cannot trust me.

Q. So you feel a little nervous?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. Playing against somebody you know who's really good?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. So if you go down, then you don't know if you can maybe some back basically?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. Now next up is Andrea.
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. You just played her in the Girls' Junior in the finals. What do you think that's going to be?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Oh, we played so nice. It was a nice match. But she's also a good player. But one time I lose, one time I win. This is the third time, so I don't know. Just I'm playing my play tomorrow.

Q. So you're not really feeling that much pressure?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. You are?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah, I am.

Q. Do you think that's going to go away after the first couple holes, or will it just --
EUN JEONG SEONG: No. No.

Q. Why not?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Because I think about the Korean national team, and from Korea player there's only two, me and Hye-Jin Choi, that's why I really want to win this match. That's why I have pressure, because tomorrow I will enjoy more.

Q. Now, you just beat her like two weeks ago.
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. Does that give you more confidence against her?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yep.

Q. Do you feel like you can go out and go beat her again?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yep.

Q. How did you think you played? Did you play okay?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Today? Yeah, today is best.

Q. Today was the best. What was working so well?
EUN JEONG SEONG: My iron shots were like six feet or nine feet in the green, and I make. I had five birdies. Today is best play.

Q. So you were putting pretty well, too, then?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah.

Q. So were you missing some putts?
EUN JEONG SEONG: No, I don't miss any putts.

Q. How are you feeling? Are you tired at all?
EUN JEONG SEONG: Yeah, a little bit. I need to take a rest, but tomorrow is only 18.

Q. Plus you don't start until the afternoon.
EUN JEONG SEONG: Tomorrow? Tomorrow is Thursday.

Q. Tomorrow is Friday.
EUN JEONG SEONG: Okay. Oh, okay, I just take a rest.
