Q. Well, Jiyai Shin, beautiful round of golf out there today. You've been on Tour playing professionally for many, many years; you've won so many times. What is your key to staying a champion for so many years?

JIYAI SHIN: Wow. It's the first question? (Laughter.) Okay.

Well, I keep working hard because you can see me, like how much I change and lost weight. Actually, my weight doesn't change much but my body fit is way different than when I was younger.

So that much I working hard and, well, I want to still -- I'm still wanting to win. That's why I'm keep working hard.

And then now my position so many -- so much lot of the younger, I think my position is now I can inspire to for the younger players.

So that's why that make it more to make the working hard.

Q. Well, I can tell you you inspire people older than you also. I don't think age matters. You still fist pump when you make a birdie. You know how important they are. It's wonderful to watch. I have another question. When are you going to release another album? That's another thing we want to know.

JIYAI SHIN: Wow. Okay, this is second question? All right. Well, actually, I'm quite busy with my golf and training, but, you know, So Yeon Ryu is getting married next month and then I'm going to sing for her.

Yeah, I need to practice that.

Q. And what are you going to do to stay fresh for the rest of the week now? You had a beautiful round of golf but you need to go back and stay fresh for your round tomorrow.

JIYAI SHIN: Well, the first thing is how beautiful weather here, so I really enjoy with this weather. Golf course is so beautiful.

And then I bring back to my old Scotty this week and it works today, so I want to keep more closer with my old putter, old friends.

Q. Best of luck to you and play great.
