BANK OF HOPE FOUNDERS CUP


March 17, 2017


Mi Hyang Lee


Phoenix, Arizona

Q. Did you know that last year when you shot 62 it was also St. Patrick's day? Did you know that?
MI HYANG LEE: Really?

Q. I think it was Thursday last year.
MI HYANG LEE: I didn't know that.

Q. It was also St. Patrick's day.
MI HYANG LEE: Oh, okay. I didn't know that.

Q. Do you think you were lucky?
MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, actually I did today. Yeah, just I missed the fairway but still good shot on the second one, so I made eagle on No. 15.

Yeah, I had a lot of luck today. Yeah, for sure.

Q. What was working in particular?
MI HYANG LEE: Actually, I didn't make any birdie on par-5 yesterday, so today just I'm going to try the smart plan on par-5, and then I make one eagle and two birdies. I think that that's more confident for me today.

Then actually my fade shot is pretty good work today, so just I think I have a lot of the comfortable on my shot and then my putts today.

Q. Eagle on 15?
MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, my eagle.

Q. What was the progression?
MI HYANG LEE: I tried to draw the tee shot, but it wasn't, so it's go a little bit right and hit the cart path a little bit.

So my driver was I think 320 yards, and I think I played maybe this -- how can I say?

What is this?

Q. Gravel?
MI HYANG LEE: Gravel. Just 190 to the pin but I shoot 5-iron, and then maybe two yard.

Q. So you hit it on the green in two?
MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, hit on the green, two yard.

Q. You've had a couple good results here, this tournament, at this course. What do you like about this place?
MI HYANG LEE: Just I love this golf course, and then just I feel just great.

Q. Comfortable here?
MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, just everything is good. Actually I'm staying with a host family. They are Koreans, so I stay with them three years and they are so nice for me.

And then, yeah, so I think everything is good, just comfortable. I shoot 10-under last year so I have a good memory of here.

Yeah, hope good luck for this weekend.

Q. Third year staying with them or fourth?
MI HYANG LEE: Third year.

Q. I think you went T13, T3, and now you're playing well again.
MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, uh-huh.

Q. Are they out watching you today?
MI HYANG LEE: Yes. Actually just I tee off 7:11 today, but they just came in the morning. So they walked 18.

Q. Awesome. The whole way?
MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, and then they walked 18 yesterday, so that's pretty good.

Q. Wow. Be out here again Saturday, Sunday?
MI HYANG LEE: They will go church, so if I play afternoon they can come. If not they said no on Sunday.
