Ssu-Chia Cheng

Quick Quotes

Q. All right, take me through that ace on No. 14 today.

SSU-CHIA CHENG: Yeah, it's a great shot. I mean, I know I hit a good shot and then it was -- started a little right of pin and just turns over to the pin.

And I didn't know it goes in. I thought it would be maybe like just a couple yard, maybe one or two yard short, so I just start walking. And then I heard the crowd was screaming. I was like, Oh, it went in.

So yeah, it was really happy about that one. It's been quite -- my last one was years ago. Definitely happy to have a hole-in-one in the tournament, especially all the crowd there. Yeah.

Q. I was going to say, when was your last ace?

SSU-CHIA CHENG: It was definitely probably at least five years ago maybe.

Q. Wow.

SSU-CHIA CHENG: Yeah, and never -- it's always like in the practice rounds or the day before the tournament. So I think this is my first one in the tournament, so it's really excited though.

Q. It's the second one of this tournament this year. We had one I think yesterday or the day before. With every hole in one this season, $20,000 is donated via CME Group to St. Jude's. What does it mean knowing that something like an ace can go toward something so meaningful like that?

SSU-CHIA CHENG: I mean, we're definitely just trying to do our best to trying to help people out. So I didn't know that, but now I know, it's really good I think.
