Quick Quotes

Q. Congratulations, Simon. You are The G4D Open champion. How does it feel?

SIMON SEUNGMIN LEE: I'm feeling very great. Well, first of all, I was not able to play in The G4D Open in previous years because of my domestic tournament schedule. So I was really happy that the days worked out this year and I could finally come and compete here.

During the tournament, the weather was cold, rainy, and windy. The course was very tough and there were many outstanding competitors. So it is a big honour for me to win such a great championship.

Q. You have some of your family here today. How does it feel? Are you happy to have them here with you?

SIMON SEUNGMIN LEE: Yes, my family is here, my mother. My dad couldn't come, though, because he had to take care of his parents. They're very old.

Q. How was it playing with Issa today? Did you enjoy playing with Issa today?

SIMON SEUNGMIN LEE: Issa?

Q. Your playing partner. Did you enjoy playing with the people you were playing with today?

SIMON SEUNGMIN LEE: Oh, yeah, I enjoyed that. I was so surprised at the shot Issa made, an eagle on the 17th. Yeah, very surprised, wow! I admire him, yeah.

Q. Amazing. Have you enjoyed being at Celtic Manor this week?

SIMON SEUNGMIN LEE: Yeah, this is my second time coming back to the UK and first time in Wales. My travel this time is personally very emotional for me. I couldn't imagine that one day I would finally return as a professional golfer and win a championship like this.

So standing here today feels very special to me. Thank you.
