Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Money after her first round at the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. 6-under 66. Just talk a little bit about your day today.

PEIYUN CHIEN: I hit a lot of great shot here and my iron is pretty good and I hole a lot of the putt today, so score is pretty low.

The course is -- the green is pretty soft so I just go for it with my iron every single shot.

Q. Talk about the putting a little bit. Only 26 putts. What was going right on the greens?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Actually I putted so well in Sunday for the speed putt and I just think about my speed and start target. I didn't think about the result because I always think too much.

So I try to do less today.

Q. You really caught fire there at the turn: four birdies in a five-hole stretch. What seemed to come together in those holes?

PEIYUN CHIEN: I didn't think too much. I just hit it and go for it. But I do listen to my caddie more this time.

Q. What did the caddie say?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Caddie say miss left side, just miss left side. Normally I have a lot of shot in my head and try to do fancy shot.

This time just, yeah, just be a good student.

Q. After struggling in your last start in Boston, what did you work on coming into this week?

PEIYUN CHIEN: Actually it's my tempo in the tournament because I always in rush and I don't know, like try to want to hit the ball as fast as I can.

I don't know why, but, yeah, just maybe it's nervous because I don't have good start this year. So this is my last chance to get in Asia tour, so I have to finish well this week.

Q. How long have you been feeling like you've been playing with that sort of pressure on your shoulders?

PEIYUN CHIEN: I think every day always the pressure. Like I'm very easy to get nervous, but I try to control my breathe more.

I think it really help.

Q. How well do you feel like you were able to slow down and take your time out there today?

PEIYUN CHIEN: I talk to my caddie more, like really commit what we want, the target, the wind, the shot we want. Yeah, I did very well.
