Q. Talk us through what happened on 17, because that was an amazing shot.

GRACE KIM: Yeah, I leaked my drive a little right. I thought I was going to be in the rough, which it was. I was trying to see if I could get a drop. I wasn't entirely over the sprinkler head boxes so you knew I just had to hit it.

Yeah, leaked right again. I was like, oh, please get through the rough; somehow went in the hole, so I guess a little bit of luck in there.

Q. You were able to turn things around really from the 14th onwards. Does that speak to your confidence right now?

GRACE KIM: Yeah, I knew it was kind of brewing. I knew my putts were due. Yeah, still plenty of holes to go, so I just tried to take patient and in the present. Got a little bit I think forceful and greedy somewhere there in the middle six.

I guess if you force golf is just doesn't work.
