Q. For sure. Looking at some of the sister acts on the LPGA Tour, the Kordas, the Jutanugarns, how excited are you two to add your names to the list and hopefully become winners and major winners pretty quickly?

YU-CHIANG HOU: I think it's today. Yeah, like right away.

Q. I mean, what does this mean for you personally? Obviously you had a lot of success, especially this year. Probably not your healthiest. How have all these accomplishments, what are your feelings right now?

YU-CHIANG HOU: Definitely means a lot to me, myself, because going through like the biggest injury of my whole life, and just went through that this summer and take like a few month off, I didn't even think I could go this far.
