LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY HERSHEYApril 17, 2019Eun Hee JiKapolei, Oahu, Hawaii Q. Six birdies on the back nine. What started working so well? EUN HEE JI: Actually I struggled with my tee shots on first couple holes, but I recover pretty good with my irons. So that makes it a little bit more easy to make birdies. So, yeah, that's it. Q. Anything change on the back nine? EUN HEE JI: No, not really. Actually my tee shot was a little bit better, so I keep it fairways more. Just hit it well today. Q. Did you think you're going to be able to get six birdies on the back nine? EUN HEE JI: No, no, no. Not at all. Q. What do you think the state of your game is? What's your form right now? EUN HEE JI: Actually my putting feel really good right now. I think that's the key for this week. It didn't wind today, but it's going to wind maybe later this weekend, so I have to putt it well, I think. Q. Is this a course you're comfortable on? EUN HEE JI: Actually, not really because always windy out here. But today was no wind and this course is -- a lot of changes if no winds, so that makes it little easier today. Q. Surprise you there was no wind? EUN HEE JI: Yeah, yeah. Actually, yes. Q. So have you had a chance to go out and explore the island? Anything that you really like to do here in Hawaii? EUN HEE JI: This is my 11th, 12 year, so not trying to go out anything. But when I come here always really relaxed out here and enjoy the food out here. Yeah, just really good out here. Q. Birdie on the par-3, 12? EUN HEE JI: I think so. Q. Do you know how long that putt was? EUN HEE JI: Like seven feet, seven eight feet. 5-iron. Yes. Actually 6-iron. Q. Is that a hole that plays a lot differently if there is some wind? EUN HEE JI: Yeah. Actually on this hole I always hit it low shot because always coming into. I think it's a little bit harder for me because I have to hit it 5-iron or hybrid on that tee shot. 6-iron is much easier, yeah. Q. What's the approach going into tomorrow with the score you put up today? EUN HEE JI: Just working on my tee shot because I was struggle. Just focusing on my putting I think. Yeah. Q. How did you struggle with the tee shots? Length? EUN HEE JI: I hit it left. Actually I hit it fading all the time, so if I hit it left I really struggle. Just couple holes I hit it like that. Switch something on my swing and just fix it a little bit better. Q. Just the first two holes? EUN HEE JI: Maybe three holes. Q. When happened, did you think, oh, my gosh, this is going to be a bad day? EUN HEE JI: Yeah, but my iron shot was fine. Just tee shot wasn't that good. Just focusing on it. Yeah. Q. Was there any concern, panic? EUN HEE JI: No, not really. Yeah. Q. What did you do last week? EUN HEE JI: I stay in L.A. and I just practice with my coach. Yeah. Q. Do anything fun in L.A.? EUN HEE JI: Enjoying Korean food because there is big Korean Town. So I go every night. Yeah, just all that. Q. Having Korean food in Hawaii? EUN HEE JI: Yeah. (Laughter.) Q. What's your favorite? EUN HEE JI: Korean food? Everything. Q. Call your coach and talk about your... EUN HEE JI: Probably later, yeah. Later. Q. (Indiscernible.) EUN HEE JI: I don't know. Just do it. Q. (Regarding equipment used on 18.) EUN HEE JI: Control 7-iron. Q. How long was the... EUN HEE JI: 140-something. Q. Okay. How long was the last shot, the putt? EUN HEE JI: Putting, like three meter, yeah. Q. That's another hole that's different when the wind is not here? EUN HEE JI: Yes, because always downwind here so I couldn't hold the -- my second shot all the time, but today wasn't that wind and I can hold it a little bit better. Q. What would you normally hit there? EUN HEE JI: It depends, because on the tee I have to think about the downwind, and I then get a short club and sometimes I laying back too far. So I hit it longer. That's why I couldn't hold it sometimes. Yeah, that makes a lot different today. Q. 7-iron to about three meters and then... EUN HEE JI: Yes. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
