Mixed Zone

Q. You played so well in majors this year, this is the second really, really good finish. Is this a one-off or will you be back for the majors next year?

JIYAI SHIN: Well, yeah, St Andrews. Yes, definitely, I want to go back, because St Andrews is my very first event with this tournament, so I have a little tough memory, but it wasn't that easy the first I'm playing.

Q. And you'll play the other majors as well?

JIYAI SHIN: Well, I'm thinking maybe to play in some other events, majors in U.S., too, because, well, I played already ten years on the Japan Tour, and I feel pretty much used to it. Sometimes I need something new.

So that's why when I come up to here, I can see my old friends, and I can see the new generation, and they play so great and they have a lot of speed and a lot of power. I got more inspired from them. I'm still learning. That's why I want to come to watch and play with them.

Q. You must be very proud, you've come second in the U.S. Open, probably top three here, you must be very proud that you decided at the start of the year to play these events, and you played really, really well?

JIYAI SHIN: Yeah, you know, I'm not playing here anymore, that's why I play good without pressure, and now more enjoying my traveling. That's why good results are following my good feeling.

Q. What's next for you for the rest of the year?

JIYAI SHIN: I need rest first, and so I'll take the week off next week, and then back to the Japan Tour. We are still middle of the season, and I'm second or third place in the race, so I look forward to get on the top.
