Q. Here with Jin Hee Im after her first round here at the Amundi Evian Championship. Very solid round from you today; 5-under. Really, really strong on your back, which was the front. What were some of the differences between the front and the back nine?

JIN HEE IM: I just say I play really well at the front, too, but I can't make that putting speed. Just that green is little slow than I think. Just maybe this much longer I can make more putt at the front.

But after made one birdie at 18, and then I can keep going like.

Q. What are some of the strengths? What are some of the ways this course brings out your strengths?

JIN HEE IM: Yeah, I focusing at the like shape. I just think about my driver ball shape. Like matching the hole. So some hole I try to little fade and some hole I just play the draw. Like whenever I do, like kind of like this.

Q. And just last one: What do you take away from this round heading into tomorrow and hopefully the rest of the week?
