Quick Quotes

Q. Joining me today after the second round of the CME Group Tour Championship is Somi Lee. Somi, a bit of a different day than yesterday.

SOMI LEE: Yeah.

Q. Still solidly in contention. What were you thinking throughout your round?

SOMI LEE: (Through translation.) I think at first my shots weren't going as well as I expected, so I tried to really keep my mind to think of it as being simple.

I think I was able to kind of be able to play through the back nine the rest of my round today, yeah.

Q. There are two more days. What is going to be your focus going into those and how are you going reset after your round today?

SOMI LEE: Simple. Just simple. I want simple.

Q. Korean golfers have always been really good. There are a few of you at the top of the leaderboard this week. What does it mean to have so many good Korean golfers?

SOMI LEE: (Through translation.) Growing up there has always been so many good Korean golfers. I think watching them while I was growing up really allowed me to dream big. I'm able to only dream big because there were so many great influences in my life, and because of that I practice and try and just make sure I'm able to kind of be at that level.
