LPGA KEB HANABANK CHAMPIONSHIPOctober 13, 2016Alison LeeIncheon, South Korea THE MODERATOR: Great round, Alison. Tell me what really worked for you today. The greens I heard were really quick and hard. How that sort of helped or hurt your play today. ALISON LEE: Yeah, the greens I would say definitely were really fast and slick. Especially putting downhill it was pretty fast, and if you had a pretty long putt it was pretty hard to judge how the speed was. But today I got on the green a lot. I gave myself a lot of chances at birdie. Putting was definitely one of my strengths today. It's definitely what helped me shoot 7-under. I made have a lot of good birdie putts. I think I only missed one or two putts inside 15 feet. Overall today I felt I played really solid. Didn't make very many mistakes except for that one hole where I made bogey. Overall really great day. THE MODERATOR: Last year was your rookie year. How is your approach to tournaments different this from your rookie year? How would you describe year one versus year two? ALISON LEE: I would definitely say I feel more comfortable out here this being my second year on tour. Last year every tournament I played in was a brand new golf course. It was difficult for me to get used to a new green every week, a new golf course every week. Having played already one year, I would come back to the golf courses and feel confident. I would definitely say it's a different approach. Like this week I actually got here on Wednesday because I had an outing in Vietnam. So it would've been really difficult for me last year to have done that, but this year, since I've already played the golf course was a lot better. I know where everything was and how the course worked. Also throughout the year I feel like it was a lot less stressful. Since I knew the golf course, I didn't really have to practice a full 18 every time or as soon as I got to the golf course. I was able to rest more and give myself free time instead of just having to grind out there and tire myself out through the week. So, yeah. THE MODERATOR: Questions. Q. You missed five cuts this year because of your shoulder problem. You feel that's coming back into form as the season winds down? ALISON LEE: Yeah, I would definitely say so. I actually injured knew shoulder back in February and I didn't know what was wrong. My swing was changing and all that and I definitely wasn't performing the same way I used to. If definitely -- it hurt a lot, a huge portion of my mental game. I was struggling a lot on the golf course not only because of my injury, but because I was scared. I was scared of the ball. I didn't know where it was going to go. So definitely was really tough mentally going through that, missing all those cuts. Like I said, last year I played very well, and I had a lot of very high expectations for myself this year. So very disappointed in that. But I am very happy with where my game is now. Top 10 last week, and past couple months I've been playing a lot better and being on the leaderboards. Definitely happy with where my game is now. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
