Quick Quotes

Q. Simon Lee, congratulations. Great playing. Talk about what it means to be the winner in this division once again.

SIMON LEE: (Through translation.) It meant a lot to win the first-ever U.S. Adaptive Open when I won. Glorious event. To win is great honor. I felt that.

Q. And so could you talk about the week overall, your experience in the championship?

SIMON LEE: (Through translation.) In the beginning I had a hard time adjusting to this format being very slow. I'm so used to playing with a faster speed, so first round I had a difficult time taking time. Just not used to playing with groups of four together.

Plus I think once I kind of let go of that pressure, kind of learn to enjoy, play better. Looking back first round if I could go back and maybe slow my pace down because I'm so used to playing faster.

So I rush couple shots, which is a learning experience for me. Yeah.

Q. This is the first year that championship is broadcast live on Golf Channel. What does that mean to you?

SIMON LEE: (Through translation.) It's a great thing to have live on the Golf Channel, but to me, so used to the TV and spotlight in Korea, so it wasn't kind of -- but to have people watch him play through Golf Channel, that means a lot.

Q. Last question: What's next on the schedule for this summer?

SIMON LEE: (Through translation.) I'll be playing mixed with China tour and Korea tour. My goal is to keep the card so I can play again next year in China and Korea, regular KPGA and regular China professional golf association, which means a lot to me to keep that up. That's my schedule.
