Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: First of all, huge congratulations for your winning today. First of all, would you like to share about your feeling right now? How happy are you?

MI HYANG LEE: Still kind of a little bit shake my hands, and was first hole make birdie, but like two double front nine and then finish 4-over so was almost give up, but my caddie just kept telling me keep fighting, fighting.

So I really fought by myself, just didn't give up, and then I just got to make a lot of birdie, so I think amazing. Feels amazing, yes.

Q. How do you keep yourself after you have two double bogeys? How do you manage to stay present?

MI HYANG LEE: Actually was great momentum the first time I make birdie. It was a lot difference between No. 9 and after No. 10.

Also, I just kept saying just my caddie really say to me like really positive things. So he help me a lot.

Q. Talk about the last hole today. Which club you use?

MI HYANG LEE: It was 75 yards to the pin and then me and my caddie try landing 65 then use 58 degrees. Second shot was a little more than we thought but was maybe a little bit better than full shots. I just practice 65 shot and I think was lucky. (Indiscernible) told me it was great and good spins on it, too, but I think it was lucky, yeah.

Q. Which club?

MI HYANG LEE: 58 degrees.

Q. Excellent approach. What did you feel at that moment?

MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, I felt, I mean, this is crazy. I just keep saying oh, my God, this is crazy. Yeah, just crazy.

Q. Some of the fans follow your group. So many fans coming to support the Chinese player. How do you focus on yourself with that much supporters?

MI HYANG LEE: No, I didn't feel that noise. Of course they get the support of the Chinese player. When I play in Korea a lot of Korean people cheering for Korean people.

I didn't think about that way. Also I play with Yu Liu and she played good. And then we were good friends with each other, too. So I just really enjoy play with her last two days.

Q. Will you notice the leaderboard during playing today? The leaderboard sometimes they change a lot today.

MI HYANG LEE: Yeah, I knew it. I just keep watching the scoreboard. I think that's why this -- that give me a lot of confidence. I just keep making one more birdie, two more birdie, and so it was -- yeah, just keep watching it, the scoreboard. I knew Weiwei and Rio play well, too.

Q. So any pressure?

MI HYANG LEE: No. I like play 4-over front nine so maybe no pressure. Back nine I just more focus on birdie.

Q. Same question as yesterday. How will you celebrate today? You get the trophy and you make it.

MI HYANG LEE: Sorry, I have to leave by 6:00 in the hotel and then I have to catch 8:55 the flight, so maybe hopefully -- Hye-Jin has same flight as me so maybe celebrate with her. But I think I have to wait to do it.

Q. What was the key for you today? Error on front nine, so what was the key to make the solid comeback back nine?

MI HYANG LEE: Oh, I don't know. Just trying to do my best and just back to basic and focus on each shot.

So I think key point was just back to basic. I think was too much trying to do something front nine so I just switched off my mind and then my caddie was help me.

So, yeah, I think my mind was difference.

Q. First question, what was the level of your shoulder injury? Can you describe? When is the first moment?

MI HYANG LEE: When is the first moment?

Q. Yeah.

MI HYANG LEE: This is my third week, so I think I told this before, but I think this is too much for my shoulder.

Then but my doctor told me yesterday just keep doing it and because he said he can fix it. I'm just going to see a doctor tomorrow. I trust him.

And then also, yes, with golf is little art and I cannot do full swing at all. I just started golf February first, so this is my only one month to play golf. But that's why just I cannot believe I'm winning this trophy. I didn't practice at all last winter, but, yes, maybe golf is mental maybe. I don't know.
