Jin Hee Im

Quick Quotes

Q. Joining me after the second round of the JM Eagle LA Championship is Jin Hee Im. Jin Hee, two really good first rounds. Four birdies on the back nine today. What is going well for you?

JIN HEE IM: I do really well to everything, but, I mean, at the front nine is -- birdies not just going what I'm thinking.

I had like maybe five meter draw but it's going straight. Still good shot; just can't make the birdie.

So I trying to keep down and then just focusing on my shots. Just one birdie after I can't make -- keep making birdies.

Q. You'll be playing in the afternoon again tomorrow. Do you notice a difference playing in the afternoon versus the morning?

JIN HEE IM: Yeah, the afternoon green and (indiscernible) is getting firmer, and then green speed also more faster.

But today it's not bad. My thinking is really, really firm, like 20 -- 15, 20 meter at the green but it's not that much. Maybe tomorrow is close to that, so just matching where am I landing and how many release.

Q. For the next two rounds what are you going to need to do well in order to be successful here?

JIN HEE IM: Most important thing is putter for the matching the good speed, and then the iron shot to make the good putt for birdie. That's it.
