U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPJuly 18, 2018Yuki MoriyamaSpringfield, New Jersey Q. Kind of back and forth there at the beginning. Talk about the round. YUKI MORIYAMA: Yeah, had very tough run and he was playing very good. I play good, I did my best, but he made good putts. I had a very good game; just a little bit of the luck to win this first match. Q. You took the lead at 14. Seemed look you both struggled a little bit on the hole. YUKI MORIYAMA: Yeah. Q. Run me through that. YUKI MORIYAMA: 14 was par-4? Q. Yeah. YUKI MORIYAMA: Yeah, so I hit left over on the second shot. Q. Uh-huh. YUKI MORIYAMA: I knew that that place is -- cannot go there with that pin placement. Yeah, the pin was on the back right and then has a big slope. He was in the right bunker and I was guessing I think I lose this hole, because it's tough to make a par. But he just topped it a little bit because the bunker was hard; no sand in it. He came to my place, same exact spot. And, yeah, that's just a little bit of the luck. Not like my game. Q. Then coming into 18 you had the 1-up lead. What's the mindset when you're about to take the tee shot? YUKI MORIYAMA: I was missing to the right on the most driver shot, so I was guessing -- like hoping to not go right. Q. Uh-huh. YUKI MORIYAMA: Just go left and just send it. I went straight. Second shot I was 208 yards and it was into the wind. I usually use 5-iron but I use 4-iron, and I did too much of the wind. I went over. That chip shot was -- I tried to go lower side of the green because I don't want to stay on the downhill putt. Yeah, he had about same distance par putt and I missed the par putt. If he makes this it's okay; it's not my fault. Just keep doing my golf. But he very missed it. Yeah, it was like I said, just the luck. Q. And then going into tomorrow, round of 32, is there anything you're looking to change or work on? YUKI MORIYAMA: I'm thinking to go to driving range to fix my shots, like yesterday. And then I lost in round 32 in last year, so I want to like going forward to round 16, 8, whatever. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
