Trophy Presentation Interview

Q. First of all, what happened right here on this green, that putt. Talk us through it.

RUONING YIN: I mean, when I was on the 18th tee and I saw the leaderboard, and I know I have one-shot lead, but once I'm on the -- after the tee shot, I saw Yuka make an incredible birdie here, and I know I have to make birdie at this hole to win the championship.

I'm glad I did it. (Laughter.)

Q. How well did you hit the ball today? You hit every single green on this very, very difficult test.

RUONING YIN: Yeah, for the last couple days, my ball-striking was perfect. I only missed, I think, six greens in four days. I think my ball-striking was pretty good.

Before today's round, I just told my physio that my goal for today, just no three-putt. I don't care if I'm winning or not, just no three-putt. I did it, too.

Q. You've talked about how you feel like you belong on the LPGA Tour now. How were you able to handle the pressure of a major championship on Sunday today?

RUONING YIN: Today, like I said, I didn't think too much. My goal was just no three-putts because the last couple days I made five bogeys, and four of them is made by three-putts. Yeah, today just no three-putts.

Q. I know there are a few people you would like to thank and also to recognize the great folks here at the club.

RUONING YIN: First of all, I want to thank the club, Baltusrol Country Club and all the staff here and tournament staff, and obviously the fans. You guys just are amazing.

I'd also like to thank my sponsors, Buick and Amundi and MilkyWay, Callaway. I can't be here without your support.

Last I just want to thank my parents. I'm getting a little emotion. Thank you for supporting me since day one. I love you.
