Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Hye-Jin after her second round here at the Standard Portland Classic. Bogey-free round for you today. How tough is it to go bogey-free out there?

HYE-JIN CHOI: My goal was to do bogey-free today and I think I made it. I felt like I felt more comfortable on the course than yesterday, so I feel more satisfied.

Q. What were the differences that made you feel more comfortable today versus yesterday?

HYE-JIN CHOI: I didn't do anything really different, but I felt like my shot was really not good this week so I was kind of worried, but I tried my best.

Q. And then had a lot of scoring opportunities this week so far. What is it about this course that makes it so scorable for you?

HYE-JIN CHOI: The par-5 on the course you can try to like two shot to make eagle chance or birdie chance and it helps to make a good score.

And I feel like the green is really good and the speed is good too so if you aim what you want it kind of goes where you want.

So I think that makes the course really scorable.

Q. Towards the top of the leaderboard. What you do need to do this weekend to hopefully earn your first LPGA Tour win?

HYE-JIN CHOI: Actually I already had a lot of chances and I have to say that it is another chance again. I'm going to try to think that it's the first round again and I have already experienced a lot, so through that experience I'm going to try to make my goal.
