Quick Quotes

Q. Joining us after the final round of the Mizuho Americas Open is Hye-Jin Choi. Really strong week this week. What do you feel like you'll take away from your performance this week?

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) I learned from this week that even if my shot is not perfect I can make good scores, and if my shot is not accurate, if I manage the course really well and concentrate it, I have a good result.

Q. You had a tough second round but bounced back really well during your third. How do you mentally do that? How do you overcome those trickier days?

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) Yeah, my score was not really good in the second round but I thought that it was because of wind. I thought that the wind was blowing hard so I didn't play well, and on third round I thought I'm going to start from the beginning again.

Q. Mid-season right now. How does a performance like this give you confidence to play well the rest of the season?

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) It's already middle of the season. Actually at the start of the season I had more confidence, but as I go through the season I was little exhausted and feeling a little down.

From now on I have to think that it's the start again and I just want to play the rest of the tournaments well, too.

Q. Final one: You got to go down there and celebrate with Jeeno. Seen you celebrate with Hyo Joo before. What does it mean to get to be out there and celebrating your friends when they win?

HYE-JIN CHOI: (Through translation.) I am really close with Hyo Joo and Jeeno. I'm really happy that they have win the tournaments and it's a really important time for them so I really want celebrate with my happy mind.
