Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Eun Hee Ji coming off an all-square match with Kelly Tan. Still advancing to the round of 16. Are you excited to be moving on to the knock-out stage?

EUN-HEE JI: I'm really exciting because I was losing for 2-down until 17, so it's amazing. (Smiling.)

Q. I saw you were losing. How did you turn it around? What did you say to yourself?

EUN-HEE JI: You know, on 17 I have to make birdie, so I really aggressive on my line and just did it.

My putting wasn't that well until there. I just made from there.

Q. I saw that amazing putt on 18. Seemed like you were struggling a little on 18 before you went to the bunker. Can you take us through that hole, through 18?

EUN-HEE JI: So my tee shot went to bunker and she hit it to the fairway. When I go check my ball it wasn't that good. I have to layup for next shot.

And then she had to hit first for second shot and she didn't make the green, so, oh, maybe have a chance.

So try to make my best from there, but didn't hit it well from bunker because it wasn't that good lie.

And then my third shot in the rough, that was pretty tough. I know that's going to roll a lot and I have to think about what is going to ball do off green.

So I just try my best.

Q. Your best was good enough. Let's talk about that amazing putt. Did you think you could make that or were you just surprised? Do you feel lucky?

EUN-HEE JI: I mean, I tried to see the line and I see the pretty good line and I just make confidence by myself and just do it. (Smiling.)

Q. Do you feel really confident going into tomorrow knowing you won all three matches?

EUN-HEE JI: Yeah, I struggle a little bit with my shot today, but maybe works better tomorrow.

Q. Do you like playing match play?

EUN-HEE JI: Yeah, I love this tournament.
