Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Hye-Jin after the final round of the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give. First things first. Talk a little bit about the final round today. How is everything going, how were the nerves and how is the game?

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) Overall it was a really good round for me. I had a chance to win this tournament, but the bogey on 17 hole was, yeah, just the one I'm thinking about. So I'm going to try to the next tournament.

Q. And then this week as a whole, three really solid days of golf, how does that feel going into next week and into a major championship?

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) I had a really good -- I had lots of chances recently. The three tournaments from Mexico U.S. Open and this one, so I feel that my condition was really good.

To talk about this week, I also played in really good condition and it is a very important tournament next week so I'm going to try to keep my condition well, yeah.

Q. And this week as well, hit a lot of greens; top 10 in greens hit. Are your irons maybe a strong part of your game or feel like it's getting stronger?

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) I agree with that. I made a lot of chances with my iron. Keeping the green and to talk about my tee shot I also kept my ball on the fairway so no really big misses so I made a lot of birdies this week.

Q. Last question: Just talk about this community, Grand Rapids, and how nice it is seeing all these fans out here.

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) I didn't know there was lots of Korean people living in Grand Rapids but I met a lot of the them and they really supported me during the week. Because of them I really enjoyed playing this week and I really cheered up because of them.

If I come next year I want to be better and show more good performance, yeah.

Q. Just with so many people in contention mentally how do you stay with -- one shot could be the difference between first and maybe even fifth or sixth the way things were going. How to you keep that mentality. You played very well throughout the whole day. How tough is that and how do you keep that mentality?

HYE-JIN CHOI: The last few tournaments I had I didn't really play well on the last round. To talk about this, I think that I didn't concentrate more playing and just think about the result so I didn't do what I was supposed to do.

But this week I tried to focus on the process, not the result, so I just played well and had some good shots.
