Soomin Oh

Quick Quotes

Q. Soomin, another great round from you. Can you talk us through your eagle on the 10th I believe it was.

SOOMIN OH: It wasn't actually 100% plan, not a plan. It was 220 meters left from where I hit the second shot. I was trying to think, let's aim just around the green. It's okay to miss it, but as near as possible.

And then the ball went through exactly what I was picturing, so I hit it well, but at the same time was lucky.

Q. You're at the top end of the leaderboard; currently second. There are many Korean teammates around you as well. You will be playing with them tomorrow. Will that make you comfortable on the course?

SOOMIN OH: Definitely it makes me more comfortable, but it doesn't mean I am sensitive who I play with. Generally I do not mind playing with anybody else because it's just my personality.

I will always be happy on the course and if I make a mistake, it's okay, I'm not really depressed. I really do not mind at all.

Q. What would it mean to you to be the first Korean woman to win this tournament?

SOOMIN OH: To be honest, I have not thought about winning this championship, but now I'm picturing of tomorrow if I won the championship, it would be huge honor not only for myself. I would become the first Korean to win the WAAP, so it's great honor.

It means also special not only for only this tournament, also the benefits that I will be have.
