Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Very pleased to be joined by winner of the Maybank Championship Miyu Yamashita. Let's start with finishing your round, had to wait a little bit until you figured out you were in the playoff. What were you thinking or doing during the waiting period?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) So I was really nervous at the time and I couldn't make a birdie on the 18th green, 18. So I just -- after all that, I just start to reset my mind and ready to the playoff.

Q. And then found out you're going to a playoff with Hannah and Hye-Jin. Take us through the game plan for the round. And having the weather delay, did that break up your mojo or anything like that?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) So there are lots of delays due to the weather today, but I was able to stay focused and keep control of my game, and really just like listening to music and then just ready for the playoff.

Q. Last one. Has the putt for eagle. What were you thinking when you were reading it and what were you thinking as you stepped over it and saw the putt go in?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) I just wanted to make birdie, so I just do it.

Q. I just like to know, which part of your game do you feel was the most responsible for your victory this week?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) So my putting was solid and I could make many birdies. Since yesterday my shots were not good and after the third round I just practice a lot and then I could make it, so I'm very happy about it.

Q. Is this your first playoff win?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) It's my first time on the LPGA Tour so I was really nervous.

Q. Congrats on winning. Two wins this season; how do you think you're going to close your year?

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) So every tournament I try to make a win, and so I'm really happy to win this second time.

Also as the season comes to the end I'm really encouraged by the support from my manager, my family, and all sponsors. Their support means so much to me.

Q. Congratulations, Miyu. Before the competition started you said this is your first time in Kuala Lumpur and you took amazing pictures. Winning here, does it bring a new meaning for you for this place? Thank you.

MIYU YAMASHITA: (Through translation.) So all the Malaysians, people who live in Malaysia, they're so nice and they are really kind to me. So I really like the Malaysia more and I want to come back here again.

THE MODERATOR: Perfect. Thank you Miyu and congratulations on your win.

MIYU YAMASHITA: Thank you so much.
