Q. Joined by Lily He after a 4-under par 67 in round one of the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer. Two eagles on the scorecard at 9 and 18. How did you manage the eagles and can you ever remember having two eagles in one round before?

MUNI HE: I think the last time I had two eagles in one round might have been here as well two years ago. Can't be for sure, but feels like it.

I think as long as you put yourself in a good position and it's reachable, it's doable. It's like a long par-4.

Yeah, obviously the greens are really firm. Fairways are firm. So a lot of room to roll out, which has been (indiscernible).

Q. Is it playing similar to years past or any different?

MUNI HE: It's still challenging. It's not easy. I think the course can be quite tricky with the kicks and bounces, so it's just a matter of if you can get yourself going and get the good kicks and bounces.

Yeah, it's not easy but it's manageable.

Q. What did you use into 9 and 18?

MUNI HE: 9 I believe I had 5-wood and then -- or 3-wood actually. Yeah, 3-wood and I chipped in.

18 I had a 5-wood.

Q. Okay. This is playing very linksy right now. You just mentioned that. Are you a fan of links golf, and if so, why?

MUNI HE: Well, I would say it's quite intimidating, but it's a course where you kind of have to respect and play with it.

So keeping that in it mind I think I've done it well on this course before, so I'm not, you know -- I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but, yeah, I mean, I enjoy playing here.

Q. And this is also a course at an event where it's very important to get off to a fast start. Numbers have been lower, and it's almost impossible to play catchup because it's 54 holes. Do you like this style and what is it that makes it that way?

MUNI HE: Yeah, I really enjoy 54-hole events. I think it makes it a lot more exciting. If you have a good three solid days you can be up there, so it gives a lot more of the girls a bit more of a chance to be really up front.

And like you said, it's one of those courses if you're having a good day you can go super low, and if you're having an A-okay day and get a few bad kicks, you can be way over par.

More than anything it's just getting it going. That's the important part.
