Q. It's always a thrilling moment to watch somebody win for the first time. You get it done in just your 20th start. I see these tears. Is that tears of joy? Relief? What's the emotion right now?

RUONING YIN: I mean, I fought so hard today and I just made three bogey in a row on the front nine.

I'm so happy that I fought back, and, yeah, from holes 6 to 9 it was great four birdie out there. Yeah.

Q. It was so crazy, only made one par, those three bogeys in a row, and then four birdies in a row. Where does that fight come from?

RUONING YIN: I mean, like I said yesterday, I mean, I can make birdie at this course for sure, and I just tell myself got to be patient, yeah.

Q. You were patient and your putter was beautiful. Shanshan Feng is someone you look up to. You now become the first winner from Republic of China to win in addition to Shanshan. What does that mean to you?

RUONING YIN: That means a lot, not just for me, also for China, I think. And Shanshan is always my goal here, and I think she got ten tour win here, and, yeah, it's just my first one.

She's definitely the person I look up to.
