CHISATO IWAI: Oh, right now so nervous. Just watching so nervous. But she will be (indiscernible.) I'm cheering for her.

Q. It was so fun to watch and you Akie play so well today. You played really well. Currently tied for third. How often were you looking at the leaderboard trying to chase your sister?

CHISATO IWAI: Yeah, she's play good all the day, but when I saw the leaderboard she's playing good, oh, I will keep trying and, yeah. I was able to achieve it.

Q. You kept trying. It was a great week for you. Congratulations to your sister, Akie, who is about to be an LPGA winner. Congratulations.

CHISATO IWAI: Thank you.
