Quick Quotes

Q. Can you talk a little bit about your day today?

JIN YOUNG KO: Yeah, before I started, my caddie told me, today is not easy, so only one player under par. So oh, really? So I thought, if I'm really playing good or really well, I think I have a chance to get in the top 10, so I really focus on myself, and I practiced hard the last few days, and I think it paid off.

But yeah, like the first two rounds, I hit some bad shots, but today like putt really well, really good, so I got five birdies today. Especially the last three holes, I got three birdies, so that is like huge momentum for me.

Q. The key was the putting you think?

JIN YOUNG KO: I think so, yeah.

Q. The back nine has been playing very hard, but do you see the leaderboard changing a little bit more?

JIN YOUNG KO: I didn't watch the leaderboard, and I didn't know what score was leader. I know my score is like minus 4 or 5, so it could be chance to get top 10. I got three birdies the last three holes, so it's big momentum for me.

Q. What are you doing next? What's your plan?

JIN YOUNG KO: I have tournament in LA.

Q. You've had a really good start to the season. What do you think your goals are for the rest of the year?

Q. You've had a great start. You won in Singapore. You found your game here.
