AMY YANG: You know, I have a coach. He's in Orlando, Florida, and his name is Tony Ziegler. I been working with him a little more then two years, I think.

We been working on (indiscernible - noise interference) and it's been going really good, yeah. I been hitting the ball very solid this week. Can't wait to talk to him.

Q. Could you tell us more about Ariya.

Q. (Indiscernible.)
AMY YANG: Yes, I have been playing good, you know, hitting a lot of good shots and making good putts. I had good momentum going on.

It wasn't easy with the weather delay and the wake up early in the morning. That part was -- I think that was what I did well.

Yeah, it's good.

THE MODERATOR: We'll wrap it up. You have your parents here. What did it mean to share this experience with them?
